Allowance Done Right

As the season of holiday gifting approaches, kids and parents alike may notice new toys, new desires, and the effects of a tight budget. Here to build confidence in starting conversations about money with your kids is bestselling author, journalist, and host of the Her Money podcast, Jean Chatzky. Jean breaks down how to ease kids into the concept of money, what conversations about wealth can look like, and more from her decades of insights on talking with kids about money, status and self-worth.

Key takeaways for parents: 

Kids are attentive and notice differences between themselves and their peers. 

Encourage your child to earn their own money, and to then manage that money.

Include your kids in why you’re making certain financial decisions appropriate for their age.

Take opportunities to compare down as well as up to foster generosity and gratitude.

Model what emotions about status and wealth come up for you, and talk about how you move through them.
