Headline: Essential reading for any parent tackling the knotty topic of financial education
Review:
In the modern day and age it is hard to know how to best impart financial guidance on the young minds of the future, with many parents are left wondering how to best teach their children about the value of money in a society where many items are acquired with lightest of taps from a piece of coloured plastic.
In Teaching Kids Good Money Habits, author Mario A. Vasquez details the seven ways parents can support their children to become more financially literate. As well as being grounded in the author’s educational credentials, it is a guide written by a parent, for parents. In the view of Vasquez, no child is too young or too old to start receiving a financial education. There are one or two exceptions to this, including in the opening chapter on teaching the value of money, but otherwise this is a book best treated as a catch-all guide for any and all children aged four years to sixteen.
Teaching Kids Good Money Habits is a good, informative guide. As a book it broadly aims to demystify the knotty topic of financial education, helping parents bridge the gap where, through funding cuts and a restrictive timetable, state education services are not able. The tone of voice is nicely balanced so content never feels overwhelmingly tedious or too overly informal which is perfect for the intended parental audience with formatting constructed of block paragraphs. With a page length coming in at around 120 pages it feels like a manageable guide for any time-strapped parent.
Essential reading for any parent tackling the knotty topic of financial education, Teaching Kids Good Money Habits is a book I would recommend to adults; it is worthy of the reading time investment and very much worthy of a five star review.
