Money
The emphasis on economics in today's school curriculum is
staggeringly low. Parents must take it upon themselves to
teach children the value of money and the power of the
dollar. Luckily the internet provides an array of internet
sites to help parents teach the value of money and
investing. Listed below are some links cited by The Wall
Street Journal Sunday section of the Daily News (Sunday, July
2, 2006):
Kids.gov links to government
resources for kids. Click on "money" for info on taxes,
savings and investments for younger children or reality
budgeting games for teenagers explaining how much they'll need
to pay rent, buy groceries, etc and how many hours they'll
need to work at which teen jobs in order
to pay for that cool jacket, a spring break trip or a
movie ticket.
sba.gov/teens links to a site
with ideas for the young entreprenuer.
www.orangekids.com ,www.moneyopolis.org, and
