Teaching Money Management – Kids of All Ages

In this article, parents and guardians will learn how to teach money management kids at every age level. Kids are to be taught how to manage their own medium of exchange, as often called, even at a very early age in order to do better management in the future. Here are ways you as a parent can do to help your little children to save it.

This information on teaching financial literacy to kids on the proper way to handle money is also a helpful way for their parents and guardians on how to deal with these valuables themselves. Now how can one child at an early age control his own currencies? Here are some age categories and how they can be taught the way to manage their possessions.

Little children must need to be taught first the value of these monetary valuables. At the ages of 5 to 10 years old, your kids would love to collect and even save those pennies. They almost do not really understand or care about the real value of it until they do get older. The best way for families to do is to tackle about it during family gatherings or talks. They may touch the issue about it during these conversations.

However, this does not mean worrying them by telling about the bills you have to pay or the cost of living these days.At this age, the importance of money would be all about how to buy a certain important house device or how to buy food that you eat. However, the explanation changes as they age or get older too.

Once children reach the age of puberty, they have a different view of these valuables. This age category would need to be taught how to save money and why it is important to keep some of it for more important or even emergency purposes.

When they reach the age of 16 and older, they become more conscious of how hard it is to earn it for a living especially during these critical hard times. So it is better to teach them early than soon for it benefits not only them but you as their parents as well.

Bottom line financial education – kids and teens programs – can benefit our youth for a lifetime.

Financial Literacy in Wichita Kansas

The National Financial Educators Council awards Stan Webb the NFEC Community Financial Literacy Ambassador Award for his efforts in Wichita, Kansas.

The NFEC recognizes leaders in the financial literacy field by honoring them the Community Ambassador Award. Stan T Webb has been chosen to receive this award for his successful financial education initiative he has launched in Wichita, Kansas.

The City of Wichita, Kansas also recognized Mr Webbs contribution. Mayor Carl Brewer presented the proclamation to NFEC Community Ambassador, Stan T. Webb for his efforts in bringing better financial literacy awareness and quality programs to the city and surrounding areas.

The proclamation gave background on the history of financial literacy month, mentioned some of the benefits associated with financially capable citizens and laid out a vision for its community. The proclamation specifically mentions, “by working together through education programs for all ages and income levels, we can eliminate or greatly reduce poverty and prepare our future generations for better financial decisions.”

Mr. Webb’s journey began over 3 years ago with one goal in mind – to improve the financial literacy of citizens in the Wichita, Kansas area. He noticed there was a lack of collaboration between the many agencies, companies and nonprofit organizations involved in promoting financial literacy. This realization, according to Mr. Webb, encouraged him to connect with these groups to promote financial literacy on a coordinated manner. “They were doing amazing programs individually, I wanted to see all these great minds come together and see the impact they have on the community,” states Mr. Webb.

Stan Webb is also a featured member of the NFEC’s Personal Finance Speakers Association. To book Mr Webb or to learn more contact us.
