How Will You Teach Your Children about Money?

Every parent teaches their child important lessons about money. You want to make sure that you're teaching the right lessons; and not ones that reflect attitudes and behaviors you're not proud of. Or worse - that you're unaware of. Teaching children money management skills and positive attitudes about money means that you need to find concrete ways to relate the lessons you want to teach to your child's everyday life.

A Consistent Approach to Teaching Children about Money

As a parent your behavior, conversations and beliefs about money have a direct impact on your child's understanding of finances. There are some very specific steps you can take to ensure that you're sending the messages you really want to send. The best way to teach your child sound money management habits is by being consistent in the messages you send. And the only way to be consistent is to be aware of your own beliefs and actions surrounding money.

Children Making Money

Financial literacy isn't a lesson your children will learn at school. As the parent, you need to decide what money lessons you want your children to learn and how you're going to teach them. Children tend to gain money by asking for it, from gifts or from an allowance. Each of these forms of childhood income has a different lesson to teach. Whether or not you give your child money upon request is a personal choice for each parent.
