Suzy's Book
Children are curious, but parents are worried—talking to your children about money might even be harder than talking to them about sex! In Mommy, are we rich?, the authors, pulling from their combined professional careers, share insights into handling this tricky subject beginning at a young age. As people, and parents, they offer warm suggestions and practical tips for handling the tough questions—the kind of questions that children invariably ask. Mommy, are we rich? Provides insight into what these questions might be and helps parents to construct reasonable, positive answers that reinforce their family values.
