If you’ve ever felt like parenting is one big, ongoing lesson, you’re not alone.

Today, we’re talking about “Continuing Education for Parents: Staying Informed and Adaptable.”

Hello, and welcome to the Roots and Wings podcast. I’m Liesel, and I’m so glad you’re here with me today. If there’s one life skill that can set kids up for success, it’s learning how to manage money. Yet, for many of us, financial literacy wasn’t something we were taught as kids. Maybe you grew up learning about money through trial and error, or perhaps it was a topic that just wasn’t discussed in your home. Whatever your experience, it’s never too early—or too late—to give your kids a solid foundation in financial literacy. So today, we’re talking about “Financial Literacy for Kids: Teaching Money Management.”
