    Kids learn by watching what parents do than what they say often. But I like your topic and appreciating the importance. Congrads on reaching Squidoo level 54. Just got there myself. Thanks.

    Good to teach kids early I feel. Money is a difficult thing to manage, especially when bills and other payments come into it. You can't teach them too early of course though, they need a childhood! Great lens, thanks for sharing.

    Your lens rocks. I may not be quite as ambitious as some, nevertheless, 18 months or so from now, I will have the debt monster re-chained instead of pillaging my finances eating all my earnings and keeping me from financial freedom. My children will see it happen and that is a wonderful thing!

    WAY TO GO THERESA!

    I totally agree that we need to teach kids early about how to be great Stewards of money so they develop wealthy money habits. Buying assets first and liabilities second would change sooooo many lives since we all know (especially now) how financial strain can really wreck families in more ways than one. Keep up the mission!

    Great lens here. Enjoyed it a lot. I love the idea of getting kids involved early in this. Get the right mindset (Secret, Abraham-Hicks, Rich Dad,etc) and then some action / follow through - maybe a little T Harv Eker & the jars? My kids (I'm stepdad) are a little older and just LOVE to argue "it's about living for today and spending all you got". Any advice on that one? Also want to share a great way for kids (14 and above) to start earning long term, residual income online.

    You're an expert at showing and teaching your children love, kindness, wisdom, reading, writing, thinking and teamwork. What financial teaching will you give them? Is "save for a rainy day" really going to get them through adultdhood? Kids' Bank Book

    Aren't Squidoo lenses a great resource? You get to know about me, the author of The Kids' Bank Book, personally - my movie favorites, my favorite charities, books, etc. I love the connection I get with Squidoo lenses! Enjoy

    OK, you say, now what about Allowance? How should I do this Allowance thing anyway - so that I make sure that my time and money will actually go to good use and teach my child something? Lucky for you ;) I have an Allowance lens!

    This is a great lens. I worked as a financial adviser for several years, and it was amazing how few people had even considered teaching their children the lessons of wealth management. I especially like the section on why Piggy Banks are an inadequate teaching tool.

    I never knew this stuff existed. I'm a grandma and I CAN'T WAIT to get this information to my daughter and granddaughter. Why wouldn't any grandma or mother not get this book? If this information is good-and it IS GOOD-- the book must be fantastic!

    Why is CashFlow 101 a great game? Because it doesn't teach you - the book does that. CashFlow 101 "muscle trains" you. But playing the game, your intellectual information gets translated into your emotional, heart and gut elements. You get practice overcoming your own emotional road blocks.
  • Bob Mar 23, 2007 @ 9:59 am | delete
    WOW!!!

    This is just what I've been looking for. This gal is smart- in a big way. I never expected to find all of this financial info in one place. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
