We struggled with that but eventually my boys got it. We used to spend short car rides (especially when things got loud and boring) naming days of the week and months. They could not figure out how it was all related but at least gave them the idea. The next thing that I did was to put a new calender (printed from the web) next to their computers and update it on events that was important to them. I would make it very simple and that gave them more recognition for the days, weeks and months. The last thing that we did but it was a mistake was to buy one of those expensive magnetic boards that had the numbers, months and days that you could put on yourself. Eventually some of the little magnetic numbers got lost and it was really a waste of money. I did find a pop out calendar thing at a dollar store that seemed to work much better and helped as a great tool; just going to show you that more expensive and fancy is not always the way to go.

My youngest daughter is in third grade and they only introduced her to money in public school last year in second. She is a very hands on learner and when we do money problems even now she has to have the coins in her hands to count them. Maybe she will be a banker??? Don’t worry…she will get it.
