I heard the author speak at a conference in CA--everything she said was highly practical and useable in today's parenting demands. I wish I had had it when I was raising my own kids. I bought the book for my daughter.

One of the principle tasks of successfully parenting children is to teach them the proper value and use of money. Judith Briles' Smart Money Moves For Kids is laid out in five consecutive parts: The Game Book for Parents; Kids - From Preschoolers to Preteens; The Teen Years; The Adult Rises; The Internet. Packed with quizzes, games and charts to make learning about money easier, the text is easy-to-understand at all levels and provides a dependable and comprehensive guide for parents. Smart Money Moves For Kids covers all aspects of money management including allowances, saving money, developing an entrepreneurial spirit, the first real job, credit, and much, much more. Smart Money Moves For Kids is a "must" for all parents concerned with preparing their children to one day thrive and prosper in the real world as adults.

I loved this book, and purchased copies to be used by each of my children as they raise their children. I made a point of showing it to my four oldest grandchildren, ages 11, 9 and 7, who were all excited about a book I brought for them on money. I know that it made them feel not grown up, but also motivated them to read Smart- Money Moves for Kids for ideas that they can use themselves. As a former teacher I believe that one of the biggest mistakes parents make about their children is that they disregard the fact that children are quite capable if we allow them to be. It's important that the adults in their lives not only treat them with respect by soliciting their ideas, but also provide guidance for them as they learn about making important decisions about finances.
Smart-Money Moves for Kids is always a great gift for children as well as for their parents. Expectant parents would appreciate copies as well.

I bought this book in Albuquerque after I heard the author speak at a conference. My only regret is that I didn't have it 10 years ago--it's terrific, covers an incredible variety of issues. I really appreciated the section on how to talk to my kids about money.
