Financial growing pains
Article Abstract:
Children have their own set of financial troubles, from tantrums in stores to squandered allowances. Parents can help their children handle these financial crises in a number of ways. For instance, in-store tantrums can be avoided by not taking children to the shop where they are exposed to temptations. Smart money habits can also be taught by helping them prioritize expenses.
