Writer Carron Armstrong explored resources and ideas to help younger kids learn “money smarts” in her article in the September-October 2009 issue of Home Education Magazine. Coming up in the November-December 2009 issue, Carron Armstrong tells HEM readers about great strategies, websites, books, programs, magazines, and other resources that we can use to help our older kids and young adults learn about financial management.
You won’t want to miss “Teaching Money Smarts to Older Children and Teens.” Carron brings her wisdom as a homeschool mom and a lawyer on bankruptcy and consumer issues to the article, which is so rich in ideas it alone is worth the price of a whole subscription to Home Education Magazine!

A great book on teaching kids about money is “Rich Kid, Smart Kid” by Robert Kiyosaki.
Most of the books out there are intended for children whose value system has already been set. I believe that important values should be introduced while we teach our kids basic safety principles such as looking both ways before crossing a street. In that light, I have written 20 children’s books in a series called “Finance for Kidz.” These books are written for ages 5 and up, are fully illustrated, in a story book form, and they explain important financial principles at the same time. Please look at those books as a resource for your children. You can find them at finance4kidz period com or on amazon.
