About this lesson
You planned the birds-and-bees talk. Money, which they will handle every day of adult life, usually has no plan. Silence does not protect them. The fix is climate, not one talk: narrate ordinary decisions, declare questions legal, and bring teens inside one real weighing per season.
What you’ll learn
- Money talk is a climate, not a talk.
- Talk when nothing is wrong.
- Questions are always allowed. Privacy can still be explained.
- Share reasoning freely. Balances can wait.
