Current Developments:

We are pleased to report that Jon -- co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent and Silver Spoon Kids -- was ranked in the "Top 100 Attorneys in the United States Specializing in Personal Wealth Issues" in the December, 2007 issue of Worth Magazine.

From time to time, we're posting on our blog. The blog gives us the opportunity to share our thoughts and get your comments on parenting and money.  Ever since Warren Buffett decided to give most of his fortune to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the press has been full of articles and speculation on the possible negative effects that money can have on children.  We don't believe that money harms children, or adults either, for that matter.  It's not the money that we should worry about; it's the money values we're teaching our kids!  Remember, our children learn money values from us by what we do as well as what we say.  The Financially Intelligent Parent website is devoted to helping you teach your children good money (and life) values. 

We've recently been asked to participate in a wonderful project called Kids Off The Couch.  We'll talk more about it in the blog.  Started by two very talented Moms, it is the type of great idea that makes you wonder why you didn't think of it!  Visit their website at www.kidsoffthecouch.com.
