I tried a different approach with my daughter. When I taught this stuff to my son I did it with a bit more vitriol over fiat and we were at the coffee shop one day standing in line and someone in front of us pays with cash and he blurts out “it’s just paper, it’s not real, why do they take that” haha

Nothing really. We were home at that point and she was focused on watering the plants before my wife came home. That’s her chore. I did not give her a dog treat for doing it though. haha
