Again, we decided to combat kid branding with our own antidote. Financial Peace Jr. is a collection of aids to help parents teach their children (ages three to twelve) about money. Of course, you can teach the principles without the kit, but either way, they need to learn them. In my home, we used the same techniques to teach our kids four things to do with money. We wanted to create teachable moments so that the kid branding would be counteracted by common sense. We taught our kids to work—not like being at some boot camp, but that doing chores equals money.
