Description: The life-long benefits of teaching children good money habits make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a lifetime. It provides an overview of the topic as well as teaching suggestions for addressing earning, spending, borrowing, sharing, and saving. It also includes a quick self-evaluation and developmental charts that discuss specific teaching activities parents can do for kids at different age levels. This resource would be an invaluable tool for parents and would make a great “give away” for schools, parent educators, and other service providers.
