Customer Reviews

great family guide to finances
this book has so many great ideas for teaching kids how to manage money at an early age. one idea to encourage children to give was to tell them you will match their giving amount, just like real jobs do. it also focuses on being thankful for our blessings, which encourages children to bless others who are less fortunate. they also show how to give a visual example (using plastic people and candies)of how blessed our nation is compared to other countries, based on population and resources per person.they also teach kids to tithe right from the start, which is definitely the way to go; then they don't know any different. this is a must-have.
