Raising Financially Responsible Children

On Thursday Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m., the Racine Public Library will host seminars in which parents and caregivers will learn age-appropriate ways to teach children how to earn and appreciate allowance, develop good savings and investing habits, know the difference between "wants" and "needs", become disciplined shoppers and view advertising critically.

It is only necessary to attend one of the workshops. All attendees will receive a complimentary workbook, containing exercises that will reinforce the workshop learning. Registration for the programs is required and may be made by calling the library at 262.636.9245. The seminar will be located in the library's Lee Room at 75 Seventh St.

The seminar was developed by the New York Life Insurance Company together with the country's leading children's finance expert, Neale S. Godfrey. Godfrey is the founder of Children's Financial Network, and is the author of 16 books including the #1 NY Times best seller, Money Doesn't Grow on Trees: A Parent's Guide to Raising Financially Responsible Children.

The workshop at the library will be facilitated by Angie Smucker, Financial Services Professional with the New York Life Insurance Company. The company has conducted business for over 164 years around their central values of financial strength, integrity and humanity. The company is owned solely by their policyholders.
