Expert help for parents who want to teach their kids the value of a dollar.

Canadians are inundated with advice for wealthy boomers—and now it's time to help out the kids. All too often parents fail to give their children the tools to understand the true value of money, including how to keep it from disappearing and how to make it grow. Somewhere between the two extremes of skyrocketing consumer debt and instant dotcom millionaires are the sensible strategies that children must learn to help them relate to money.

Money Is a Kid's Best Friend is a down-to-earth guide for parents to start their children down the road to financial independence by following some important, but easily understood steps. Full of useful tips and easy exercises that can be taught to children as soon as they can walk, the secrets parents pass along from this book will stay with their kids throughout their earning years.

Also covered:

  • introduction to money through games
  • the first bank account
  • baby's first budget
  • junior's first job
  • early investing
  • saving for school
