• Do you think about the values that you are communicating to your children through the way you handle money?
• Are you uncomfortable talking about money with your children?
• Do you sometimes use money as a bribe to get your children to do what you tell them?
• If you feel you’ve been too busy to spend time with your children, do you try to make it up to them by buying them things?
• Do you frequently argue with your spouse about money in front of your children?
• Do you ever talk to your children about the importance of charity and helping others less fortunate than your family?
• Do you give your children a consistent allowance?

It is jam-packed full of excellent tips and advice on how to make your child’s life (and your own!) much easier in the future.
