Quotes to ponder:

"Teaching your teen how to budget is an essential skill they'll carry with them forever. By teaching them healthy financial habits now, you can help them avoid severe debt and make it easier for them to make smart investments in the future."

"Letting your teen 'fail' sometimes is one of the best ways to build resiliency and make them better problem-solvers."

"Self-care isn't just great for your physical health but your mental wellness, too. If your teenager sees you prioritizing your mental well-being, it can help to eliminate any societal stigmas that might keep them from taking care of their mental health, too."
