Real Money Advice for Your Kids


Book Description

One of the biggest concerns that parents have - and one of the most confronting challenges we face - is how to teach our children the skills they will need to become successful and release the untapped potential that they possess. Compounding this concern is the knowledge that many of the skills that comprise this vital part of our children's education are not being addressed in the traditional classroom environment. Money management is an integral part of daily life, but the most important reason that your kids need to master this skill is not so they can be 'good' with money. It's because the foundation of money management is supported by the principles that will allow your children to excel in all areas of their life - discipline, patience, responsibility, determination, strength of character, good work ethics and high standards. Inside Real Money Advice for Your Kids by Wilson Luna, you'll learn the secrets of the Kids' Money Management Plan - a three stage program that will show you how to help your kids to create the habits, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that will give them the head start that you want them to have.
