Good Overall

This book was good overall. Unfortunately, I was looking for a lot more information on college planning, so I struck out (only a few pages). Otherwise, it does a good job describing the life cycle of a child's view of money. Recommended for most parents of kids 18 and under.

For parents seeking to instill "financial literacy"

Presented in easy-to-understand, reader friendly terms, A Parent's Guide To Money masterfully takes the difficulties of communicating properly with young people into account. If you are a parent seeking to instill "financial literacy" and good monetary management practices in your child, then give a careful reading to A Parent's Guide To Money.

Good book

A very thorough book with a good amount of ideas for how to ensure your child is savvy about money and prepared to go out into the world to manage their own. Worth the read.
