    The 15-Minute Weekly Habit That Turns Kids Into Self-Starters (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It sounds great that you want to help your kid set goals and become a self-starter. That is, until you actually sit down with them at the kitchen table to do so. “Tell me about your goals!” you say, and they stare at you with a blank face. “I dunno,” they say with a shrug. “Can I go now?” The reality is that most kids have never been asked about their goals before. They’re used to adults setting all of their goals for them, so they have no idea how to set their own, much less stick to them. So t

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It’s 8:23 p.m. on a Wednesday when your kid appears in the living room with anxiety all over their face. “I forgot my charger at school,” they say. “My computer’s at 5%.

But you don’t need to join Alpha to start teaching your kid about money. You can easily do it at home, and you can start younger than you think.I recently sat down with Chris Hays, an Alpha guide who specializes in teaching kids how to become financially literate, to discuss this very thing. How can a parent who is interested in teaching their k
