Why You Should Let Your Kids Fail with Money

Why You Should Let Your Kids Fail with Money

Do you have kids? If so, you're going to want to hear this.

You should let your kids fail with money!?Why?

According to my special guest on the Money is Emotional Podcast, James Lenhoff , the answer is simple.

“Success is the product of failure.”

We all learn through failure; success wouldn’t be possible without it.

So why do we hold our kids to a different standard when it comes to managing their own money??(Our emotions MIGHT have something to do with it!)

James answers these questions during our discussion:

?? Why do you think parents?swoop in and rescue their kids, rather than letting them experience failure with money?

?? What are the long-term consequences you've witnessed?when someone had no financial consequences?for their mistakes as a child or teenager?

?? At what age did you begin?allowing your kids to "fail with money"?in a controlled environment? What does this progression look like as a child ages?

?? What are the long-term benefits of letting kids fail with money?when the amounts and consequences are relatively small?

Whether your kid is 4 or 44, there are plenty of gold nuggets for you in this episode of the Money is Emotional podcast!

And, no, it's not too early (or too late!) to teach your kiddos about money.

Really interesting! I suppose l grew up listening to parents or relatives talking about the bad consequences of financial decisions made by people we know. We use those examples as business case studies at dinner table… Real life MBA lessons…

100% agree - let them fail. The biggest, and some of the most important lessons, come out of failure.

One of our financial advisors allocated time to helping our kids. He worked with them independently starting when they were 10 years old. My boys are in their 20's now, both still dept free and saving for the future. Thanks for the great advice Christine Luken.
