Full title: The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money
Finished probably 3/25/16 or sometime around then
Have to say, I loved this. Lieber has a lot of down-to-earth suggestions for talking with kids about any topic related to money, dispelling the taboos around this subject. He also deals honestly with the fact that some families have more money than others, and gives good practical advice for talking about this fact with kids (because hey, they're going to notice). My child is still a little young for much of what he discusses, which will really apply to school-age children and teens, but I do plan to implement the Spend-Save-Give jars as soon as she starts seeing money as more than something to play with by pouring it from one jar into another and back again. And I plan on rereading this when she's a bit older, too. Highly recommended.
(And interestingly, the recommendations here dovetail nicely with those in Boundaries with Kids, a more general parenting book which I happened to be reading simultaneously.)
