Takeaways for Parents
- Keep adult money stress out of children’s hands. Kids notice more than we think, and they will often shrink their own needs to spare us.
- Children shouldn’t have to pick sides. Let them appreciate love from every direction without guilt.
- Effort is a form of generosity. Time, skill, and attention carry a value that receipts can’t measure.
- Invite kids to ask. Make it clear that needing things is normal and that asking is always safe.
