Kids, Parents & Money: Teaching Personal Finance from Piggy Bank to Prom

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:54:52 +0000

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

The First National Bank of Dad: The Best Way to Teach Kids About Money

Most parents do more harm than good when they try to teach their children about money. They make saving seem like a punishment, and force their children to view reckless spending as their only rational choice. To most kids, a savings account is just a black hole that swallows birthday checks. David Owen, a New Yorker staff writer and the father of two children, has devised a revolutionary new way to teach kids about money. In The First National Bank of Dad, he explains how he helped his own son and daughter become eager savers and rational spenders. He started by setting up a bank of his own at home and offering his young children an attractively high rate of return on any amount they chose to save. "If you hang on to some of your wealth instead of spending it immediately," he told them, "in a little while, you'll be able to double or even triple your allowance." A few years later, he started his own stock market and money-market fund for them. Most children already have a pretty good idea of how money works, Owen believes; that's why they are seldom interested in punitive savings schemes mandated by their parents. The first step in making children financially responsible, he writes, is to take advantage of human nature rather than ignoring it or futilely trying to change it. "My children are often quite irresponsible with my money, and why shouldn't they be?" he writes. "But they are extremely careful with their own." The First National Bank of Dad also explains how to give children real experience with all kinds of investments, how to foster their charitable instincts, how to make them more helpful around the house, how to set their allowances, and how to help them acquire a sense of value that goes far beyond money. He also describes at length what he feels is the best investment any parent can make for a child -- an idea that will surprise most readers.
