de-wantsneedsIt’s never too early to begin teaching youngsters about basic economics, the importance of spending or saving money wisely, and the significant difference between things we want and things we truly need. This issue helps children learn that goods and services can satisfy both wants and needs, but you don’t always need—or get—what you want.

  • think critically to respond to a prompt
  • use the newspaper to locate examples of wants and needs
