When should kids get an allowance? Should they earn it? How do you teach saving without constant reminders? And when is the right time to introduce investing?
Financial literacy starts long before your child earns a paycheck. Every day, children learn about money by watching how the adults around them spend, save, share, and plan. And they also learn from the way you talk about finances and the feelings you express about money related issues. This practical, evidence-informed workshop will help you build your child’s financial confidence from preschool through the teen years using everyday experiences—not complicated financial lessons.
In this workshop, you’ll discover what children understand about money at different ages and how to use everyday moments to teach budgeting, saving, thoughtful spending, charitable giving, and investing basics. We’ll also explore how family values, emotions, and communication shape lifelong money habits, along with practical ways to encourage responsibility, patience, wise decision-making, and financial independence, even if you aren’t there yourself yet. The good news is that you can learn alongside your kids in ways that can bring you closer together.
Join Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, and her guest Brian Kinney, former Chief Investment Officer at State Street Bank, for practical tools and real-life strategies that help children develop a healthy relationship with money—and the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly complex financial world.
