Who's Teaching Your Kids About Managing Money?
|
|
Fifty-six percent of
teens believe the best source of useful information about financial
matters is their parents or guardians. However, many parents hesitate
to discuss money management with their children - they may feel
awkward talking about money or are embarrassed about their own
financial missteps. Junior Achievement has created a new series
of free, downloadable
teaching tools to help parents talk to their children
about smart money management.
