Want to raise a financially literate kid?
In today’s troubled economy we hear a lot about financial literacy.
And lately a lot about how to teach today’s students the lessons they’ll need to know to survive in the real world - and I’m not talking about the ones that fit neatly into social studies or science classes.
But there are plenty of resources out there to help parents raise a financially literate child - all thanks to the World Wide Web.
FoolProof is a service provided free of charge by credit unions across the country and offers an online curriculum in financial literacy that college students, high school teachers and parents and guardians can use.
Wells Fargo Bank offers Hands On Banking, with resources for adults, young adults, teens and kids.
The Utah State Office of Education offers excellent resources on financial literacy.
And The Mint from the Northwestern Mutual Foundation offers “fun financial literacy activities” for all ages.
