We all lead busy lives these days and it’s increasingly hard to be present with our children even when we are in their presence. While some of us can’t control the quantity of time we have with our children, we can all control the quality of time we spend with our family, so be present when you are together.

Remember, we are the #1 influence on our children’s behaviours–financial and otherwise–so it’s up to us to raise a generation of mindful money managers and accountable adults.
