Product Description |
| Even if they don't agree on anything else, most parents will concede that financial responsibility is a vital part of every child's education. Former stockbroker Willard Stawski II, father of five and president of a company that produces fiscal-literacy tools for youngsters, believes such behavior ultimately stems from the way a family sets priorities and communicates lessons regarding them. He also contends financial literacy is a key component in everything from enhanced self-esteem to successful interpersonal relationships. In Kids, Parents & Money, Stawski outlines a step-by-step program that can be used to teach proper earning, saving, and spending habits and tie them all together. Starting with development of a team mission statement and financial plan, he addresses age-appropriate goals and conduct--"From about age four, children start to comprehend material value," he writes, and that's when they "also must be shown the offsetting financial principles that govern the material world"--along with allowances, suitable remuneration for work around the home, budgeting, record keeping, and even investing. Clearly defined chapters focus on a specific topic and conclude with simple exercises that reinforce its principles. A related Web site contains interactive materials that also can be used to aid the process. --Howard Rothman |

 Great book for teaching children the real value of money |
| Review Date: April 15, 2000 |
| Reviewer: Ryan Henning, Seattle, WA |
| The author has done a great job with designing a practical and helpful book about money. Used properly, the lessons in this book will teach children the most essential "real world" lessons today; the value of having control of your money. |
Teaching tool for parents, teachers, grandparents

| It's a complex world today and kids somehow seem to have distorted notions of the value of money. It's no one's fault but many families could help themselves with this refresher course on financial basics. Stawski's ideas on how to educate kids about money make sense, whether your kids are very young or teens. This is a user-friendly book that includes worksheets you can use whether you have one kid or a houseful. Everyone in the family will benefit from this book! |
This is one way of doing things.

| If you want your kids to earn every penny they have than this is a great book. If you are less militant than this book is way to extreme. It is very biased towards having the kid EARN every penny they get. I believe that some money should just be given to them. |
