It's natural to want your kids to have a secure future. But when it
comes to teaching the next generation how to handle money, parents are
failing. 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.
