  • Ep 71: The 5 Love Languages of Children and Anger Issues

    How do you make sure your children feel loved? How do you help them constructively deal with their anger? Your kids only get one childhood, it's not something that we can fix later, so let's make it a good one for them! We discuss all of this and more in this episode.


    If you have not heard of the 5 love languages, they are a game changer. Gary Chapman's books on this topic are life changing, truly. This one, co-written with Ross Campbell, was no different.

  • Ep 70: Raising Adults Part 3

    Unqualified Parenting shares their tips on raising adults. Some of these include things that are so much easier to teach before they move out, like personal hygiene, and emotional intelligence! We've also touched on letting kids fail a lot in the past, but letting them fail now vs. when they are an adult with real consequences, really hits home more as our kids grow up.

  • Ep 69: Beyond Personal Finance Guest Interview - Raising Adults Part 2

    If you're interested in learning about how to teach your child financing, and how to set up their allowance for success, we've got you covered! In this episode, we interview Charla McKinley with Beyond Personal Finance, about her finance teaching program, and how to get kids started at a young age. We also have some great segments on this episode!


    Don't forget to subscribe.

    Guest Bio
    Charla McKinley graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Finance.  She went on to become a Certified Public Accountant with over 25 years working in both the corporate and private sectors.  While homeschooling her two children, Charla was inspired to write an interactive personal finance curriculum that opens the student's eyes to the high costs of being an adult.  After retiring from homeschooling, Charla continues to teach teens in  Raleigh, NC and across the country using her Beyond Personal Finance curriculum.

    Charla’s passion is teaching teens that their choices matter.  She is a firm believer that in order to prepare teens for the road ahead they must be given the opportunity to practice making good (and not so good) choices using real dollars before they get out into the world and have real regrets.
