I want to encourage you to give it 100 tries!
:-) One try may not be enough to discover and learn anything. But do it 100 times and you will very likely discover and learn something.
You will learn something about the attitudes, associations and feelings kids are forming about money.

Is She Onto Something?
Susan Doty, Executive Director of the University of Texas Tyler's Center for Economic Education and Financial Literacy shares the following:

We need to help children develop the skills to make the choices right for them by understanding their opportunity costs with every choice. "
Perhaps after conducting or reading research you will conclude the same. Many have!
