A Parent’s Hands-on Guide to Teaching your Kids How to Save, Spend and Share Wisely.
Some of the toughest choices we make in adult life are about money, and so often we feel uninformed, unsure, and ill-prepared. We want better for our kids, but how do we teach them the things we never quite learned?
Teach a Kid to Save is your go-to, hands-on, research-based guide to teaching your kids about the wise use of money and the value of work through an innovative, interactive mini-economy. In the mini-economy, kids have jobs, earn a play-money income, make a plan for their money, shop at the household store, and even create their own businesses. The mini-economy gives kids a chance to practice making meaningful choices about money and work, helping them build healthy lifelong habits.
With chapters on work, rest, generosity, saving, spending, and entrepreneurship, as well as a quick-start guide, templates, visual aids, conversation starters, and a special appendix for homeschools, Teach a Kid to Save is the all-in-one resource you've been waiting for.
