In early childhood, typically between the ages of 3 and 5, children begin to develop a rudimentary understanding of money. This comprehension often comes through play and imitation, as they observe adults handling money. Parents can introduce basic concepts such as saving and spending, perhaps using a piggy bank to illustrate saving. At this stage, children might also start to understand the concept of exchanging money for goods, like using coins to buy a small toy.
在幼兒期,通常介於3到5歲之間,孩子們開始發展對金錢的基本理解。這種理解通常透過遊戲和模仿得來,因為他們觀察大人如何處理金錢。父母可以介紹一些基本概念,例如儲蓄和花費,或許使用存錢筒來說明儲蓄。在這個階段,孩子們也可能開始理解用錢換取物品的概念,比如用硬幣購買一個小玩具。
