Christmas Comes Early

Hi Scott,

I was planning on giving your new Barefoot Kids book to my eight-year-old daughter for Christmas. Unfortunately, she found it while I was at work. When I got home that night I was amazed that she had already read half the book, letter-bombed the neighbourhood with her new ‘cat sitting’ business, set up her jars with your stickers, and started setting up her jobs board. Then she hit me with her pocket money pitch. My Chrissy surprise is blown, but it’s so good she is fully engaged!

Hey Chris

How proud should you be of your daughter? The way most parents teach their kids about money is trial and error … a lot of boring lectures … and a lot of nagging, in the hope that some of it sticks. Yet your daughter is building her own money ‘muscle memories’, and creating her own experiences … some of which will stay with her for the rest of her life.

Scott.
