How does a toy cash till help a child's social and emotional development?
Answer:
It can...
If it is combined with the learning skills that takes "cash" out of the toy realm and into reality.
Things like explaining the difference between coins and paper (in the youngest, coin seems more "real" that paper) and that they are representative of -buying power-. Working on concepts that show that cash is a stand-in for the ability to get other objects (or services) for prior duties or labor.
Also, you can observe the concept of delayed gratification. "Cash" kept and saved to a certain point can get higher valued objects than the smaller amounts spent immediately.
