\nAs parents, we prepare ourselves for several \u201cserious\u201d talks with our children. From how to deal with others, to changes during puberty, to even more *ahem* mature subjects. But, one topic often gets glossed over \u2014 money. Parents might avoid talking about finances with their kids because they don\u2019t know how to approach the subject or they feel their kids are too young. Maybe the parents themselves are at a loss when it comes to financial literacy. The fact is that kids need to learn about money to get a good start. We don\u2019t want them to find out the hard way what happens when you mismanage funds. Fortunately, there\u2019s a great tool for teaching kids about money.<\/p>\n

Teaching Kids About Money \u2014 Beth Kobliner’s Book and Live Q&A<\/h3>\n

Recently, I was sent the book Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You’re Not)<\/em> by Beth Kobliner. This newest release from the author of a New York Times bestseller is geared to children ages 3 to 23. Not only does the book give solid reasons for teaching kids about money but it includes actionable methods of how to do that. The writing tone is down to earth and easy to understand. Financial terms are explained in no-nonsense terms that parents will relate to. Kobliner covers the basics of teaching the value of money, why it\u2019s so important to use cash versus plastic, how paying kids for chores actually does more harm than good, help look into future planning, and even breaks down salaries and taxes.<\/p>\n

The release date of Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You’re Not)<\/a><\/em>\u00a0was last Tuesday, February 7, 2017. On that day, Munchkin and I attended an event with Kobliner to talk about her newest book. Well, Kobliner was actually in New York at the time so our group was tied in virtually. We participated in a live question and answer session via Facebook live with local blogger, Brandi Riley, as the host.<\/p>\n
