Teaching Your Kids Early

Modeling Good Behavior
American families are busier than ever, but even parents who are experts at multitasking have fond memories of the values that kept their family connected, conveyed lessons of frugality, and taught the benefits of cooking healthy meals. The book, Family-Friendly Money Recipe$ for Kids, features teachable ideas and tips for parents to be a positive money management role model.
