About the book What is different about this book?
In a nutshell – it addresses the “How to” for parents wanting their children to learn about money so they don’t grow up broke.
As a parent you will most probably be in two categories. Either in a mess yourself financially so you think you are not qualified to teach your child about money. Or you manage your finances efficiently but don’t quite know how to pass those skills on to your child. This book will empower you as a parent no matter which category you are in.
Without a doubt discussing family financial affairs is a subject that many parents shy away from and could be in the same class as discussing sex, discussed only when absolutely necessary (and generally too late)! In order to help put your child on the right financial path it is therefore vital that you (the adult) “build a bridge and get over it” and include your child in the financial life of your family. Sometimes the best way to teach your child is when they think they are not learning.
There is a misconception that schools are responsible for teaching your child to be financially intelligent. The best person to teach your child about money is you the parent. Children need to learn how money works at an early age so they can make informed choices as they grow older. You are the most important role model in your child’s life. Think about what sort of a role model you are? So, what happens if your parents didn’t teach you about money, or you realise you haven’t handled what money you have had very well? Don’t despair. What you did in the past is done. Use it as a lesson and not an excuse. Make some changes and don’t let mistakes of the past become habits of the future for your next generation.
This book is the “How to Do it” on teaching your children some essential money and life skills that will help stop them going “broke”. It is a step by step guide complete with lessons to teach and ways to teach them. It is simple information that we all wish we were taught at school but never were.
This book is designed to educate you, your children, and your children’s children. It will encourage interaction with your children, provoke frank conversations, stir up emotion and even give you the odd “ah ha!” moment of realisation. If you have been wondering how or what you can do about stopping your children make silly mistakes with their finances, this book will give you the tools to do it. |
