Loonies and Toonies: The Risk of Piggy Banks

So far on this show we've covered issues that are obviously pertinent to children's health — issues like the role of fever, the use of antibiotics, and the risks of cannabis use. 

 

In this episode we discuss the importance of financial literacy for kids, which may not seem as relevant to children's health — but in fact is hugely important.  

 

Kids who understand from an early age that money is a tool, and then learn how to effectively use that tool, can expect to enjoy more comfortable financial futures — which means less stress, less anxiety, less substance abuse, and overall better health for the rest of their lives.  Yet parents are often reluctant to teach money management skills to their kids, often because they themselves don't feel well equipped with financial skills.

 

In this segment of Cloudy with a Risk of Children we interview Robin Taub, an expert on this topic and best-selling author of The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to be Responsible, Independent, and Money-Smart for Life.

 

Invest an hour with us, and learn how to set your children firmly on the path to financial success — and the good health that comes along with it.
