Doobins Becomes an Entrepreneur
Mr. Doobins is starting to learn about the world of money.
Before, we either bought him something or told him that he wasn’t going to get it.
Now, with some things, we give him the option of earning money to buy it. He is still hazy about the particulars of money so we don’t worry about specific amounts, just his willingness to exert some effort to get whatever it is that he wants.
Sometimes, Garnet suggests ways that he could make money. Another time, he might ask whether he could sweep the front porch to earn some money.
The other day he was thinking about the latest Lego Star Wars kit that he just had to have when he had a brainwave.
“I know,” he said, “I could make a big mess and you could pay me money to clean it up.”
