WDYM What Do You Mean?

Spinning the "Wheel of Luck"

Text and Talk!

When Destini and I crafted our "Wheel of Luck" to teach our kids about money through chores, we never expected it to spin us into a whirlwind family debate. Our youngest's fluctuating fortunes on this homemade game led to a lively discussion about fairness and the values we're imparting. It's all fun and games until someone lands on Bankrupt—or is it? Destini's sharp questions and my own dubious role as Monopoly's banker add a personal flavor to this episode, offering a candid glimpse into the sometimes messy process of guiding our children through life's financial ups and downs.

Join us, Michael and Destini , as we unfold the consequences of risk and greed witnessed during family game night. Our eldest's cautious approach contrasts with her sibling's boldness, setting the stage for life lessons that extend far beyond the game board. We'll reflect on the weighty responsibility of teaching tough lessons, like dealing with loss and making smart choices, and how these shared moments can sculpt a young person's understanding of the world. Expect to be entertained, challenged, and maybe even a little inspired, as we navigate the delicate act of nurturing through play.
