Kids + Money

A 45-Minute Teaching for Christian Schools, Churches & Parenting Networks

 

ABOUT THE SESSION

Research overwhelmingly shows that kids who grow up in homes where money is openly discussed, where work is expected, and where “wants” are earned—not handed out—experience long-lasting benefits well into adulthood.

 

Children raised with healthy financial habits are more likely to:

  • Follow a healthy money-script into adulthood

  • Accumulate less college debt and consumer debt

  • Make sound career decisions earlier on in adulthood

  • Develop financial resilience

​

In an age of effortless convenience and rising entitlement, teaching kids to manage money wisely is one of the most important forms of discipleship. This 45-minute teaching gives parents a clear, biblical framework for helping their children learn responsibility, gratitude, and financial stewardship—skills they will carry for life.

We leave around 20 minutes for conversation and engagement from the room!

 

WHAT THIS TALK COVERS

  • Why early exposure to money, work, and financial conversations shapes long-term emotional and financial well-being.

  • The spiritual and developmental value of earning and stewarding money

  • How Scripture frames work, generosity, contentment, and responsibility—and why financial stewardship is a form of discipleship.

  • Teaching kids to manage what they earn with different tools and resources

  • A simple, practical system for helping kids allocate money to saving, giving, spending, and investing—and how to keep it sustainable.

  • How to use chores, projects, and age-appropriate tasks to teach initiative, ownership, and the value of earning—not entitlement.

  • Parents leave with a ready-to-use framework for guiding their kids toward financial wisdom and responsibility.
