MEET THE SIBLING AUTHORS WHO HELP KIDS MANAGE MONEY AND INVEST IN REAL ESTATE

Washington, DC -- Siblings Andrea Stephenson and Linsey Mills have over 40 years of combined experience in teaching youth financial literacy and have made it their mission to expose children to these topics in a fun way. They are the authors of a new book entitled Teach Your Child About Money Through Play with over 110 games/activities, tips, and resources. The book is available on Amazon.

Financial literacy is a subject that is not taught in many schools today. However, when children become adults, they will most likely have to manage money. Also, their credit score will be an important number connected to their name. Therefore, it is up to parents to introduce kids to money.

If a child has financial literacy skills, then most often they will make smart decisions.
The activities in Teach Your Child About Money Through Play include materials and toys you already have in your home. They also provide fun field trips that create a hands-on approach and a supplement to your child's learning. It will help you take the guessing game out of how to expose kids to money topics and concepts.
