I would even suggest incorporating the balance of income and expense planning as early as possible through discussing how the money you spend on groceries, eating out, electricity all derive from "mommy/daddy's" paycheck from working so hard! Then as your child gets older and requests the in-style clothes and accessories, you can incorporate the value of hard work. For example, when your child asks if she can get a new purse, barbie, hot wheels, etc. you can ask "did you work (aka do chores) this week? You can use your EARNED allowance to buy it!" yay!
