Teaching Law of Attraction Money Principles to Your Kids

 

If you are like 10% of the adults who watched "The Secret" or attended/read Law of Attraction or Esther Hicks (Abraham) workshops/books, it has occurred to you that you want to pass this wisdom to your children, especially when it comes to financial abundance, before they become parents - in fact, before they become adults!

I wrote The Kids' Bank Book exactly for that reason.  After many years of reading and attending various books and workshops, I realized that all of this wisdom was geared toward (middle-aged) adults.  No one had created a way to impart this wisdom to kids - in a fun, concrete, kids way!

Here, you'll find tips, tools and resources (and fun stuff) to teach your children a positive, law of attraction approach to money.

Top 5 Ways to RAISE (up, up, up) a Kid's Vibration 

  1. Smile
  2. Be in the NOW
  3. Only say what you want
  4. Take things slower (and bask in the child's exploratory inquisitiveness)
  5. Say "okay" just a little more often

Be Aware: 3 Big Ways we lower (down, down, down) a Kid's Vibration 

[and some solutions!]

Be of good cheer - everyone falls into these traps - until we (1) educate ourselves, and (2) exercise different muscles (see below for the better muscles)
  1. HAVE TO - Heck, "have to" turns me off, why wouldn't it turn off a child? Do things because we want to or choose to, not because we "have to" - sounds like someone else has ripped our choices from us, has jailed us, and made us do something we hate. Now, sometimes, when I "want to" go to work, I'm not necessarily in a high energy vibration with it, but I am choosing to go to work, and I am choosing to increase my energy about it. So, do the same for your children - replace the "we HAVE TO go to school, take a bath, hurry hurry hurry up!"
  2. NOT & DON'T - Our brains fail to register the word "not" (also it's conjuntion "don't" as in "do not"), so if you say to a child, "Don't splash the water" guess what that child's brain just heard? "Splash the water" Why? Because that's what 99% of the sentence is about (except for the word "not"). And, there is no way that that little word is ever going to be able to overcome 99% of the sentence. [Plus, our brain just fails to register it!] So, get rid of "not" and "don't" from your vocabulary! TODAY! Start saying things like, "Keep the water in the tub." "Use your manners, please." "Walking only in the store." Mentally note how many times you would have said "don't" today - amazing isn't it? Law of Attraction seems so obvious to us as adults about our own lives, and especially when we focus on money, but it's amazing how insidious that our negative energies are!
  3. AFTER WE, THEN WE - Adults are soooo often telling kids what we are going to do later. As in, driving to the store, "After we get the soda at the store, we're going to stop and pick up Dad." Know what this does? Forces the kid -ho WAS happy and joyful in the NOW in the backseat of the car just daydreaming - forces the kid into the future. Know why? Just because WE failed to have control over our own monkey brain. It is one of our jobs as parents to keep track of things, but we need to practice calming our monkey brain to be IN THE NOW (after we have organized things). We can allow our children the freedom from the junk that is cluttering our monkey brains. The other reason we force kids into the future (and leave the JOY OF THE NOW) is for some mild form of promised happiness (as in, "time for bed, and won't tomorrow be exciting because the Easter Bunny is coming"). We usually do that to coax the child away from any possible "negative" feelings about bedtime. Just let the child be with his/her NOW feelings. And let the Easter Bunny feelings arrive tomorrow - when tomorrow becomes THE NOW.

Money Law of Attraction for Kids - The Basics 

From my book, The Kids' Bank Book
  • A 4-part Bank, with a:
  • More Money section (a.k.a. investments which receive ROI, Return on Investment) Isn't MORE MONEY a cool-er name than "investments"? [If you didn't recognize the letters ROI, get "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" right now - see below.]
  • Christmas/Holiday/Birthday Savings section - for the child to buy gifts for others (essentially this is a long-term savings plan)
  • Spending section- for the child to spend on ANYTHING - there is no discussion - if they want it and it's stupid, and cheap, and gross, if it's not against the family's house rules (as in, no electronic games or no hate music in the house), and they have the money for it - they can buy it! Key here - keep QUIET. By keeping quiet, you empower them to make their own decisions.
  • Donation/Tithing section - for the child to donate. You can discuss the good cause, or it can be completely up to the child.
  • Allowance - same amount, every week, divided equally into each of the 4 bank sections
  • Allowance and "Chores" are 2 separate, unrelated entities - "chores" are just a negative word for our roles on our Home/Family Team. None of us get money for it - we get the happiness of a well-ordered home, and supporting the team. Want more reasons why allowance and chores stay separate? See my Allowance and Kids Squidoo lens
  • ALL money (except for ROI) gets divided equally into the 4 banks - even money received as a gift, or from work, or from allowance, or found on the street (except pennies which go into just one bank of the child's choosing ;)
  • ROI - Return On Investment - gets given to the child at the same time as allowance, and is determined in advance by the parent to be a flat incremental amount, or a percentage of the More Money Bank. The Kids' Bank Book takes care of all of those calculations for you.
  • Bank Of Parents - Remember the times when you went to give allowance and you only had 2 dollar bills in your wallet and you needed 3? For that reason, and tons of others (especially exchanging money for the separate banks), you need a handy Bank Of Parents.
  • Which 4-part bank? Certainly the ones on the market fail in oh, so many, ways. Get the best one in your own kitchen - see the instructions here How to Make a Giving Bank that Works section of my "How to Teach Wealth Habits to Your Kids" Squidoo lens
  • Smile, joy, happiness, relaxation around the Kids' Money Attraction Activities, all now replace any remnant of stress, furrowed-brows, or serious, supposedly wisdom-imparting discussions (otherwise known as lecturing - boring, blah blah blah).
  • Want to know what a light-hearted, yet brilliant, money conversation with your kids looks, feels and sounds like? An entire section of The Kids' Bank Book is dedicated to an actual conversation, along with detailed instructions and guidance for you to use with your children.

That The Kids' Bank Book donates 10% of its net profits to Champ House?

What a deal - now you can enlighten your children and donate to a worthy cause all at the same time! Wow, your vibration is approaching #1 Gratitude!

A Focus on Donating 

25% of the Kids' money goes to the Donation or Tithing bank section.

Why?

In Law of Attraction language, because donating raises your vibration. Donating money, volunteering, tithing, all raise the vibration of the giver AS MUCH AS the raising-up of the vibration of the receiver.

Plus, donating and tithing mean that we care for others - it combines our actions with our intention (of loving and caring for others).

What a great habit to start when you're a kid. If a child grows up with a 25% donation rate, then a 10% donation rate will be a piece of cake as an adult. Then again, with all of the child's learned money skills, habits, and wisdom, maybe the child will continue to live off 25%, invest 25%, use 25% for long-term savings items, and donate 25% as an adult.

Wow, the world would dramatically change if an additional 10% of the next generation lived like that!

Thank you for recognizing that children need LOA as much or more than adults do. "Raise them up in the way they should go and when they get old they will not depart from it" We are grateful for what you have done.

Her law firm (http://www.markhamlawyer.com/),  crafts creative solutions for her clients' financial disputes, while helping them grow through difficult life challenges.  Prior to relocating New Jersey several years ago, she lived in Manhattan and worked on Wall Street.


She has had two of her letters published in the New York Times' Letters to the Editor, and has been featured in the American Bar Association Journal.  She is grateful for the fabulous education she received at Fordham University School of Law (over a decade ago), as well as for her world-class church (for which the family commutes to Manhattan), Marble Collegiate Church, and wonderful minister, Dr. Art
