I enjoyed your post. It is true we have to teach our children to manage thier money. I wrote a post about how children were being explioted by the rich and they were using thier parents to do it.

it’s crazy.

we have to teach them, becuase if we don’t…who will?

Great article! Another solid piece of financial advice that’s rarely brought up to children is the value of insurance for their home, car and especially their own lives. Talking to your kids about the value of insurance at an early age will allow them to save money both short and long term.

Thank you for the wonderful tips. It is vital that we teach children about financial literacy early. I actually just did an interview with someone about teaching children about money matters for my parenting audience. We’d be happy to share it with you and your readers.

I have a disabled adult in the home who is 26. They are not good with their money. He goes through his money too quick and looses money also. I give him all one dollar bills and that has helped some. He still needs help. I will try this pages advice to help them.

Appreciate the article, especially about teaching children personal responsibility. At http://www.childnparent.com I have written a series of articles on Money Matters for children. I have even outlined a plan for how parents can create a “real world experience” for their child at home. The implementation of a money matters plan at home is essential in raising a money responsible child. Check out my articles today at http://www.childnparent.com.

What are your terms for reprints? I work for a not-for-profit, and we have a monthly article called Insights for Parents that we also translate into Spanish, and I’d love to use this article (with full credit to Mint, of course).

Please e-mail me if you are open to reprints.

@Misti: You’ll definitely enjoy those comics (because I did, and I’m a lot older than your sons, I bet). Some of other free comics aren’t so good though, but the three mentioned were enjoyable and informative.

Financial education is definitely lacking in our public education system, although I believe some states do have mandatory financial course requirement in high school (although how effective they are is up for debate).

At the end, I believe that a parent can influence a child’s financial mentality much more than school or an online article could.
