Although money is probably the last thing you want to think about right now, the recession is actually a great time to teach your children about the value of the green stuff. The frugal lessons they learn in dire times can be the ticket to success in later moments of prosperity. And, to this degree, Alan Wolen has created Moneyology 1. Through simple techniques like cartoon piggies and savings mavens Ziggy and Piggy Banks, he introduces money management for children. In Moneyology 1 and Moneyology 2, your little spenders, ages three through seven, can grasp the value of a dollar by seeing money, touching money and getting comfortable with it, Give your child $5, and he’ll have some cash; teach him how to save, and soon you’ll be asking for a few bucks!
