How Do We Raise Financially Confident Kids? With Julie Bennett

Do your kids think money grows on trees? In a world of credit cards and online shopping, how do we teach our children the value of earning and saving money? In this practical episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, host Claudia Noriega Bernstein talks with Julie Bennett. Julie is a mom, a former corporate strategist, and the co-founder of Lemonade Stand-ards. She and her sister created a fun program that teaches kids ages 6 to 12 how to handle money by starting their own small businesses. Julie shares how leaving her corporate job helped her find freedom and spend more time with her family. She explains the "Learning to Earn" cycle, why giving kids real cash helps them understand spending limits, and how to stop saying "we can't afford that" by asking questions that make kids think. Claudia also shares how her own daughter started a soap business at age 10 to buy a Mother's Day gift!
