Course overview
Raising Money-Smart Kids
Build an allowance system that empowers your kids, grows with your family and gives you the confidence to be a money-smart guide.
This course is for parents who...
01
are ready to move past the piggy bank to get started with a money-smart learning program but don't know how.
02
don't feel confident they can teach their kids money smarts because of their own past money mistakes.
03
find themselves routinely digging into their pockets to finance their kids' spending habits.
04
understand money can't make us happy, but a lack of it is virtually guaranteed to make us miserable.
05
want to be sure they're not spoiling their kids!
06
invest in their kids with music lessons and sports camps. Why not money smarts?

Learn tips and techniques to teach your kids meaningful money values, to be a smarter spender and to avoid the all-too-real scourge of "stuff" that pervades our consumer culture.
Discover the confidence to be your child's money-smart guide
Discover why your past money mistakes are not blunders to be ashamed of, but rather opportunities to help your kids understand valuable financial lessons.
