HOW CAN WE HELP OUR CHILDREN ACHIEVE THEIR GREATEST POTENTIAL?

We try to give them every advantage – from the best schools and safe, loving homes to ideas and experiences that challenge their potential and reinforce their self-confidence. Teaching them important life skills is another critical component of helping our children assume responsibility for themselves as they mature. We believe that among the most important life skills young adults can acquire are the basic skills to help them manage their money wisely and achieve a lifetime of personal financial responsibility. Learning how to save money, spend it, and share it wisely – and avoid common pitfalls of debt, unnecessary fees and penalties, as well as the often dramatic consequences of poor planning – are critical skills that each of us benefits from having.

MONEY MATTERS FOR KIDS answers the question asked by so many adults, "Why didn’t someone teach me these things when I was in school?” Our program educates and empowers young adults by giving them understandable, actionable information they can use to appreciate and develop lifelong responsible financial habits.

Drawing on effective, time-tested teaching techniques that emphasize student participation and conversational informality, MONEY MATTERS FOR KIDS offers small, informal, interactive in-school seminars led by an experienced financial education expert that provide the relaxed, comfortable environment in which students learn how to take control of their present and future financial well-being.

The sequence of seminar content has been carefully developed to maximize each student’s understanding and implementation of basic financial knowledge through discussions and explanation of relevant Concepts, Tools, and commonly used Financial Terms. Each seminar is tailored specifically to the unique needs and comprehension levels of its students. The content of our program is not designed to offer investment advice, nor is its goal to acquire any assets to manage. We are educators, not money managers.

Please contact us if you would like to learn more about the MONEY MATTERS FOR KIDS educational seminar program. Your child’s school may already participate in the program. And if it doesn’t, now is an ideal time for us to introduce the program to it.
