Seminar:  Kids + Finances:  Some is Caught, Some is Taught”

Audience: Parents of Kids of age 5-20
Format: 120 minutes of Content (2 hours)
 

Summary:
This seminar is a single event with a focus on helping parents develop a couple healthy systems and approaches to increasing financial literacy in the lives of their children, and helping them develop healthy money habits before graduating high school.

 

Research has shown that children who grow up in an environment where money is discussed openly and healthy money habits are practiced as a family develop stronger financial literacy and learn to appreciate the value of delayed gratification. This, in turn, leads to better life outcomes and contentment.

 

Parents will walk away empowered to apply some of these things in their home and are welcome to subscribe to my monthly email for ongoing ideas, resources, and tips on helping their kids develop financial literacy and stewardship.

Primary Content of Seminar:

• Key roles of chores and work: The seminar discusses the importance of assigning chores and responsibilities to children to instill a sense of accountability, work ethic, and ownership. And, how to hold chores accountable without becoming the wretched nag.
