Raised for Richness: Teaching Kids Money Skills for Life

While author and educator Karyn Hodgens did not coin the term "financial literacy," she is a visionary and pioneer on a mission to inform America's youth how to lead rich lives. In Raised for Richness, she wisely adds her two cents to show parents and caregivers how to get kids thinking beyond their piggy banks in order to have meaningful dialogue about issues related to money. In ten succinct, engaging, and informative chapters like "The Foundation," "Earning," and "Saving," Hodgens illustrates how to empower kids as young as six to be in charge of their money. And while she ultimately offers a profound lesson that all that glitters is not gold, the value system she uses in her teaching has a lot to do with open communication. To enhance the experience, the author encourages family pow-wows with "Chew on This" topics that go beyond raising money-savvy children. The prompts help families visualize and articulate their unique roles and responsibilities to each other-and the world.

5Grandma Aprroved  Mar 19, 2010
By Dorothy G. Russo
Wish I had taught my kids these skills along with their 3R's. My grandchildren will benefit from Ms. Hodgen's books and exercises. The book is well worth the investment.

5Highly recommended for all parents with young children  Apr 21, 2011
By C. Kownatzki
So much is required from the youngsters in terms of academic achievement these days and yet, most kids enter the working world without learning the basics of personal finance. The task to raise financially literate kids falls on parents and they are often unable and/or unwilling to do so. This book is an excellent resource for parents who wish to raise money-wise kids.

Karyn does a wonderful job of bringing a sense of order into the often confusing world of finance. The book is full of fun exercises for both parents and kids. I particularly like the "Chew on this" sections. What a great idea to make the reader stop and really think about what they just read.

I highly recommend this book for all parents with young children. The sooner you can get your kids to work with this book, the higher the odds that they will turn out to be financially independent and ready to enter real world. As an added bonus, some parents may actually learn a thing or two about personal finance as well...
