3 Tips for Teaching Kids About Sneaky Spending
- Make the Small Stuff Big. A $5 snack doesn’t feel like much — until kids see what it costs over a whole year.
- Connect Choices to Goals. Ask: “If you didn’t buy this, what could you
save for instead?” Big-picture thinking clicks fast. - Focus on Choice, Not Restriction. Help kids pick one or two treats or subscriptions to cut back on — and celebrate the savings they create
“This Year, I Will…”
The start of school brings more than just new supplies—it’s a chance to set the tone for the year ahead. That’s why we created our “This Year, I Will…” Bookmark Set, designed to help kids build the future-ready skills they need to succeed in school and life.
THREE TIPS FOR BUILDING FUTURE-READY HABITS AT HOME:
- Choose a Trait Together. Talk with your child about which bookmark trait fits their goals this year.
- Keep It Visible. It’s a daily visual reminder of the kind of person they’re working to become.
- Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection. When your child shows growth—like taking initiative or managing money—call it out. These small wins build lifelong confidence.
