Episode 007: Raising Financially Responsible Kids Through the Holidays (and Beyond)

December 13, 2017


10 Activities to do with your Kids this Holiday Season

The holidays— full of magic, wonder, traditions, and more. For many families, especially those with young children, the holidays also involve presents, presents and more presents. (Seriously, so many presents).

My husband and I, like many of our friends with kiddos, are working to raise our little one to be mindful about money, spending, giving and investing. Through all the hustle and bustle, we find this time of year is packed with opportunities to create teachable moments with our son.

In this episode I’m sharing 10 of my favorite things you can do this season as a family to help raise financially responsible kids.

  • Discuss wants vs. needs (3:10)
  • Practice one in, one out (5:35)
  • Set gifts aside for later (7:29)
  • Give an experience (8:52)
  • Make gifts (10:25)
  • Give together (12:48)
