As parents, we all have experienced our kids melting down in a store over a must have item. Often we cave in to the demands in order to get out of the embarrassing moment. How would you like a new way to handle these moments and help your kids learn how to handle money responsibly?

Whether parents like it or not, we are the central players in the development of our kids’ money skills, values, and habits. Why? Because youngsters learn about money by what they see, hear, and experience in the world—and at home.

We, at Money Wizdom™, want your kids to grow up having a balanced approach to handling money. And that balance starts with good budgeting skills—and a habit or two. Our Money Wizdom™ program is designed to help you teach your young kids (5-8) age-appropriate budgeting skills in a simple, fun, and responsible manner. It only takes about 30 minutes to get a family started using rules you set about what your kids can and cannot do.

Kids on the Money Wizdom™ program learn that a “good” budget allows them to pay for what they need, save for what they want, face the consequences of spending choices, and control the urge to have it all now. And they gain insight on the value of giving to others. Yes, five year olds can do this!

Best of all, our program fits easily into busy, day-to-day family life. And, it’s made for all families, regardless of income, money values, or number of kids.

So, if you are ready to empower your kids to learn how to make good money decisions and reduce the “gimme’s,” consider starting your kids on the Money Wizdom™ program today. The Starter Kit is available for purchase at Little Pickle Press.
