Kids. Money. Mindset. with Author Anthony Delauney *Financial Literacy Series* How to Fall Like a Superhero
-
- Stories for Kids
Anthony Delauney, author of the Owning the Dash book series for kids, wants to emphasize that money is a tool.
In this episode, he also talks about:
how you can empower kids by letting them make decisions. Give them the opportunity to feel ownership over their own money.
how you can teach delayed gratification to young kids, who may not understand what money is, by using relatable objects, like candy.
how you can foster confidence by allowing kids to make mistakes in a safe environment and without fear of being criticized or belittled.
being mindful that kids are always watching and taking note of your money-related emotions.
"Children tend to monitor and learn from the things we do and how we act with our own money...so when we go to the grocery store or when we go to certain activities ...and we spend money or we use that tool, how do we use it? ...and what's our behaviour like around it? Do we like talking about it? Do we not talk about it at all? Those behaviours are things children pick up on very quickly."
"Just because you tell children what to do, does not mean they will follow that lesson...so the most important thing as a parent...that parents need to be aware of, is what they're doing themselves...Are they being honest with themselves? If they're telling their children to do one thing, but they're not doing it themselves, that's a recipe for trouble down the road."
"They don't understand, per se, all the concepts around money...but they certainly pay attention to the emotion that parents have around money..."
The full episode (also available on your preferred podcast player) contains specific techniques and teaching moments to emphasize that money is a tool.
