When it comes to money we all want to leave some for our children. We hope they will be in a better financial place than ourselves and try to provide a better childhood for them than we had.
These feelings and wants are natural. But what do we do to accomplish it? How do we get them to think these things? How do we guide them to learn about hard work, saving, investing, giving, and diverse social and economic circumstances that people find themselves in?
In his book "The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money" Ron Lieber goes on to explain these things and more.
One particularly interesting part of the book was about a "Home Visit Curriculum" where 4 and 5 year olds go to visit the homes of every student in their class. It's interesting to see what the children pick up from these things.
I don't think I was to more than one or two classmates homes at that age. How many classmates homes did you visit when you were 4 or 5?
