Marketplace Money is exploring the many approaches parents take to educating their kids about the value — and the risks — of money. To help us with this reporting project, tell us how YOU do it.
What works and what doesn’t? What questions do you have? What could you teach other parents about what kids need to know — and what can we help you learn? Share your experience here.
