NEWARK, DE.—“The sooner
kids are involved in financial
management, the better.” says
Maria Pippidis, University of
Delaware Cooperative Extension
home economist. “Even young
children understand very early the
concept of trading a coin for
something. By the time they’re
teens, kids should be well on their
way to learning how to handle
finances.”
Pippidis says when teens start
earning money regularly
whether through part-time jobs,
baby-sitting or paper routes
they need to start managing their
money, too. If they don’t already
have savings and checking
accounts, now is a good lime to
open them.
Parents can help their children
make good financial decisions by
helping them set priorities. Adver
tising and peer pressure bombard
kids, notes Pippidis. Parents can
act as intermediaries to help filter
through the information.
“It’s important for kids to learn

Matos says county schools need
more bilingual teachers. The
migrant woikers are no longer as
transitory as they once were.
“Parents dream about going back
to Mexico,” she says, “but the
reality is different.”

la now faces that reality. He longs
to be back in Mexico with his wife
and year-old son, whom he last
saw four months ago. Instead, he
says, he will soon start the legal

United States. Then he’ll be able
to work year-round.

that money is a means to an end,”
says the agent “It is a tool that can
be used to accomplish other things
in life. If your child wants to buy a
CD because enjoying music is an
important part of who he or she is,
that’s a good goal. If the child
wants a CD because everyone else
has it, maybe you need to discuss
it further.”
Pippidis says communicating
about money is important to help
children understand money con
cepts and develop financial self
esteem.
“Communicating about money
gives benefits beyond finances,”
she adds. “Parents who communi
cate with their children about
money will build an overall better
relationship that helps them bond
and develop respect for each
other.”
When a child decides on a
purchase goal, parents can help by
suggesting that the child save a
percentage of each sum of money
that is earned. Using a tangible
method such as putting the

Ortiz left Puerto Rico in the
1950 s with thousands of other
laborers in search of better
employment. His bilingualism
helped him work his way from
picker to general foreman. Now
Ortiz, 54, sees the 135 men he
supervises cope with the same dif
flbulties he once thought he would
never overcome.
Problems with housing, discri
mination, and living a long dis
tance from nome may continue,
but most of the workers will
remain on the mushroom farms,

or envelope will reinforce the con

tangible is to post a progress chart

“Whether your child plans a
