I believe that having a part time job is a very good way for children to start understanding money, being responsible, having respect for others and start to see the real world. Some children think of their parents as The Money Shop, just go up to them and ask for money, and there it is handed on a plate. Do you think these children will learn the value of money, when they don’t have to do anything, or even think where it comes from? Surely it would make more sense for your teenager to make mistakes with their own small bit of money, rather than when they are older, with big amounts of money. Of course their schoolwork is very important, but a good balance of both schoolwork and real work, will help your teenager learn important life skills.
Check the newspaper help wanted ads. Walk around town or mall and look for help wanted signs in store windows. Post flyers, with information on what services you are willing to offer, such as.... Baby sitting, house cleaning, gardening and so on.

Typical Teen Jobs...
When your teenager starts looking for a summer job, give them a bit of your time, as finding a job is never easy and when you’ve never done it before, it can be very disheartening.
First things is creating a really good CV, this is your teenagers first chance to really stand out. The key to success is adapting the CV so that it is clear, concise and that is stands out. Try to remind your child that they may not get the first job and that employers may receive hundreds of Cvs for a particular job. So spending a lot of time getting the CV right is very important.
