Still there is hope! Financial expert Mary Hunt shows parents how to raise kids who have a healthy relationship with money--even if the parents themselves have made financial mistakes along the way or are struggling financially right now. Drawing from solid statistics and her own hard-won knowledge and experience, Hunt helps parents protect their children from the financial pitfalls of easy credit, an attitude of entitlement, and our culture's chummy relationship with debt. From preschool through the teen years, every stage of a child's development is covered, including how to talk to them about money, how to help them start saving money and giving it away, and how to manage money wisely.

This book will give you a roadmap to answer important questions like those below, while providing you with fun ways to teach your children about money management. They will be learning important lessons without even realizing it - whether they are a toddler or a teen. You will learn through stories and examples how to accomplish the following goals and many more. How do you teach a two-year old the value of money? How do you help your children plan to get what they want? How can your child recognize the value of delayed gratification? How do you teach your child about making choices and budgeting? How do you prepare your child to be financially ready to leave the nest? How can your teen build their own credit score? The goal of this book is two-fold. First, to support you in educating your children to have an empowering set of beliefs and knowledge of basic finances so that they are competent in most economic life situations. This book can serve new parents as a financial parenting guide as well as help parents with teenagers teach their teens critical skills needed to transition to financial independence. Our second objective is to walk you through the mechanics of setting up basic accounts and practices that give your child a financial cushion when it is time for them to live independently. The following are goals that we expect you and your kids to achieve from reading the book. Your child is financially aware. Your child weighs the pros and cons of using their money in various situations in a way that you believe is in their best interest. Your child is not afraid of money. Your child is comfortable in going to banks or investment firms to get more information, open accounts and ask for support. Your child understands the benefits of delayed gratification. Your teen has the financial knowledge and ability to budget when they leave their childhood home. Your teen has a good credit score as soon as is practical. Your kids have developed habits and patterns of behavior around making and spending money that serve them well throughout their life. Each chapter includes financial education appropriate to your children's ages, along with the mechanics of what investment accounts or practices you may put in place to solidify your children's future financial well-being. Exercises and examples are included throughout to stimulate your thinking on how best to teach and engage your kids. Many of the exercises are directly applicable to practical skills such as budgeting. Stories that demonstrate the financial parenting strategies of other parents provide ideas that may inform your personal financial teaching approach. Seeing how parents have already educated their children provides a welcome realization that this is just a part of the parenting experience. Raising Financially Independent Children was written in response to widespread insolvency and financial illiteracy among the young and older adults alike. The book is written for parents of young children but is suitable for anyone who would like to change their relationship with money, or who needs a refresher on the basics of credit and simple account management. By presenting easy ways to educate your children from their earliest years, we are confident the next generation will be better prepared to navigate the financial challenges of modern life.

Download or read book The Opposite of Spoiled written by Ron Lieber and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller “We all want to raise children with good values—children who are the opposite of spoiled—yet we often neglect to talk to our children about money. . . . From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents.” — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.

Download or read book Parenting That Makes Cents written by Sabrina Raber and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of a lifelong dream - empowering people to live a more positive, purpose-driven life. It is the first of many forthcoming resources geared toward helping families develop a strong financial foundation. I learned a great deal about money from the many stories my father shared regarding clients and the financial mistakes they made. When I was eight years old, my father decided to bring me to his business conferences. I went to the same conference for several years, and each year, the speaker repeatedly preached financial reform. I often wondered how so many adults found themselves in financial difficulty. As an eight-year-old, I did not understand the complexities of money - but I knew people were not handling money well. I could even see my childhood friends spending their nickels and dimes on candy and toys. As I grew older, I continued carrying the desire to make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. I realized that my seemingly insignificant idea was on track to save kids from growing up to be the same drowning-in-debt adults I sat next to every year at the conference. Somehow, I knew any changes needed to start with the parents. If parents understood how to save, spend, and share their money the right way, their children would grow up able to pay off their student loans, buy a house, and live a worry-free financial life. My father and I teamed up to bring this message to you. Our knowledge and our passion to help is now in your hands. I hope this book is able to help because I know these lessons can change the world, one child at a time.
