Launched in 1997, the site provides
tools to help parents as well as educators teach children to manage
money wisely and develop good financial habits: the building blocks for a
secure future. Given the current rate of savings and debt in America,
this is a lesson that desperately needs to be learned.Sections on this site have been designed for families. Most pages are written in a kid-friendly style so families can work together – or older children can work independently in learning money lessons. However, some sections have been developed exclusively for teachers and parents.
· Ideas for Teachers contains activities to illustrate sound money-management concepts.
· The Parents section provides tips for mentoring and nurturing children, to help them grow in financial responsibility. Some of these tips lay very simple groundwork and can be used before children start grade school.
