| My husband originally bought this book, and then I read and re-read it. We have 2 sons, (10 & 12 yrs old). This book REALLY helped us to set up a program for spending and saving with our sons. I like the way is is simply laid out. I would highly recommend any parent who is interested in learning more and getting help on how to set-up the whole money thing to get this book...better earlier than later! Be patient, it does work...it just takes time and persisitence. |
User-friendly and useful

| We all spend a lot of time talking about how to instill proper financial values in our children. This book gives you step-by-step advice on how to make that "talk" reality. The sections on how to use the world as your financial classroom and how to instill your personal values through consumerism were perfect for our young children. Perhaps the best part of the book is that it is written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand style. Anyone reading this book will be able to use and implement these ideas. |
The "IT" book for kids and finances!

| This is an amazing book for parents who want to teach their kids about the value of money and how to save and spend wisely. It is a must read for ALL parents. We have started the kids on the four jar saving system and it's amazing. I wish soooooo much that I would have had these money skills growing up. With all the financial troubles so many Americans are going through, I feel that with the skills in this book that we will teach our kids, they will not fall into the same money troubles that are common today. Ms. Godfrey explains how to teach kids the value of money in ways I would not have thought of. Also, when I read this book, the timing was perfect as I was struggling with the idea of starting my kids on an allowance or not? Do you tie it to chores or not? She answered ALL my questions and gives great ideas and suggestions. I can't recommend this book enough! Wonderful!!!!!!! |
economics begin with the child's allowance

| Neale Godfrey understands money (used to be a banker). She teaches parents how to teach children about money, by teaching them to manage their allowances. Does an excellent job. Realistic. For families in all economic levels. Her next book "Money Still Doesn't Grow on Trees" (for teen and young adults) is even better. |
Good book for all parents.
