In addition to the many articles I've written, my book, "Raising Financially Confident Kids," has been revised and updated several times. This subject is obviously important to my readers, too. Recently, as I was preparing a talk for a local moms group, I got to thinking about some of the questions I have received after explaining the system that we used on our boys, and what I write about in the book. After all, assigning a portion of our family's resources to our children for them to manage -- an amount commensurate with each son's age, needs and ability - was not normal. And that, I believe, is the point. What's being taught these days to kids about money -- if anything -- isn't working.
