Topics & Resources
What do you want your kids to learn about money and money management?
Most parents start with the basics - Money Skills. Here kids learn to recognize and handle currency and coins.
After that, it's time to develop more specific skills - Spending, Saving, Sharing and Investing. An excellent way to do this is with an effective Allowance program.
Finally, no financial education would be complete with a discussion of the promises and pitfalls of Credit.
Each of these essential Topics lends itself to a wide range of Resources:
- Professional Articles,
- The real-life successes and challenges of other Parents,
- Tons of relevant data from numerous sources
- The opinions of Experts,
- A wealth of web-based Resources,
- Convenient access to hundreds of games, books, banks, DVDs, learning activities, and
- Highlights from a myriad of Books.
If you're ready, select a Topic of interest and begin exploring the Resources available. Feel free to Share as you Learn.
And finally, keep coming back. We're constantly updating and expanding our Resources. Check back frequently to see all that we've added. Feel free to suggest Resources you think would be helpful.
