I'm constantly asked what my recommendation is from parents and caregivers on how they should teach children about money-and this is it! Beyond Piggy Banks and Lemonade Stands will be my go-to-guide for many years to come. -- Michelle Schroeder-Gardner, personal finance expert, founder and creator of MakingSenseofCents.com (@SenseofCents) We teach our kids to read, to do math, to help with chores, to share, but we often overlook financial literacy.
