    In this episode of The Resilient Kid Podcast, join host Ashley Castello and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience as they delve into the topic of family dynamics and contributions. Kids often take what their parents do for granted, but how can we change that? Ashley introduces an easy and practical way to help kids of all ages understand the importance of contributing to the Family Pot, leaving everyone better resourced.

     

    Understanding the Family Pot: Ashley discusses the concept of the Family Pot, a hypothetical but practical idea that revolves around contributions and withdrawals from the family's shared resources, be it financial, practical, or emotional.

    Financial Contributions: Who in the family contributes financially to the Family Pot? Ashley explores how earning money and supporting the household financially is a vital form of contribution.

    Practical Contributions: From doing household chores to freeing up time for parents, practical contributions play a significant role in building a well-resourced

    family.

    Emotional Contributions: Ashley emphasizes the importance of emotional support within the family and how acts of affection and consideration contribute to the Family Pot.

    Balancing Give and Take: Discover how discussing family needs and expectations on a weekly basis can help balance the contributions and withdrawals from the Family Pot.

    Helping Kids Understand: Ashley shares real-life examples from her own family, showing how involving kids in the discussion and decision-making process can lead to a better understanding of their contribution to the family.

        • Teaching Financial Wellbeing to Kids

          This weeks Resilient Kid Podcast is with the fantastic Michelle Nicole Phelps. We are talking all things Kids and Finance. We talk about the importance of teaching children all about money. How to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their money effectively now and in the future.


          Michelle gives useful tips on how to talk to kids about money, whatever the age. How to get them to take financial responsibility and how to make it fun too. Ashley gives real life example with her kids, as you have come to expect and they both talk about the delayed gratification and its role in creating debt.

          Michelle's Top Tips - 

          Start early Evidence tells us that children’s attitudes about money are well developed by the age of seven. So, incorporate learning about the world of money into your teaching from pre-school upwards.  Put learning into practice Providing kids with experiential learning has been shown to be most effective. So when we run workshops in school they mainly include the children playing games, with regular check-ins as a group to see what lessons are being learnt, and what ideas they can take into the next round of games.  Make the most of everyday events. Financial education can be particularly effective if it coincides with an opportunity for the young person to put it into practice. For example, more detailed learning about banks and saving could coincide with parents taking out a children's bank account.
