CANCELLED - MISSION LIBRARY: How to Raise Financially Aware Kids

THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Research shows that kids as young as 3 years old can grasp the ideas of saving and spending. The sooner parents start teaching and talking to their kids about money, the more comfortable kids will be with these concepts. Unfortunately, most schools do not include financial education as part of their curriculum. In fact, a recent study of high school students revealed that 88% of what they know about finances they learned from their parents – by observing how their parents earned, spent and talked about money.

Creating financially aware children entails teaching them that wealth is not only tied to money, but also resources they develop over time. For example, material resources such as homes, cars and computers and non-material resources such as skills, health and knowledge all contribute to a full, rich and happy life.
