Our guest today is Robin Taub, a Chartered Professional Accountant, financial literacy consultant, public speaker, blogger, and author of The Parent's Guide to Raising Money-Smart Kids. Robin discusses why it's so important to teach children about money, the challenges that parents face, and solutions for getting started.

Money management isn't always easy and teaching it to someone else can be just as difficult.  There are many reasons that discussions about money might not take place, but it's important to overcome those challenges and make it a priority. In Robin's book she explains that challenges include a lack of knowledge by parents, not knowing how to approach the topic, limited opportunities to talk about money, or parents might not be good at money management themselves.
