Parenting through this “in-between” stage can be complicated: How much guidance is too much? When do you let go? How do you stay close without taking over? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan welcome Dr. Laurence Steinberg to discuss his book “You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together in Challenging Times.” Together they discuss how parents can make sense of the shifting roles that come with launching young adults while also managing relationships with aging parents.

    The Day a Cookie Business Changed How My Daughter Saw Money After watching a kid biz launch challenge our eight-year-old decided she wanted to start a cookie business. She figured out recipes, canvased the neighborhood, and delivered her first batch of cookie dough. By the end of the day, she had a stack of cash in her hand and stars in her eyes. https://www.youtube.com/live/yzjkVUl38HM Then we sat down at the table. “Okay,” I said, “you didn't just make $100 you made $100 of income. Now we're going to give, save, and spend.” Suddenly, that pile of money shrank. Ten dollars to giving. Forty to saving. Fifty left to spend. And right there, without a textbook or a classroom, she began to understand what real money management feels like: choices, trade-offs, and the realization that dollars follow value. That's a picture of how to teach kids about money in real life—not as an abstract idea, but as something they can see, touch, and live.

Why Learning How to Teach Kids About Money Matters More Than Ever When parents ask us how to teach kids about money, they're not really asking about dollars and cents. They're asking: How do I raise financially responsible kids? How do I help them avoid the money mistakes I made? How do I give my child a wealthy mindset, not a consumer mindset shaped by social media and advertising? In this article, we are going to walk with you through: How to teach your kids about money from a young age Simple money lessons for kids that start before they earn their first dollar How chores, jobs, and entrepreneurship help kids understand that dollars follow value How to teach kids about saving and spending, delayed gratification, and lifestyle choices How early money experiences shape your child's financial mindset, from little kids to teens to adult children By the end, you'll have practical scripts, examples, and frameworks you can start using today—whether your kids are 6, 16, or already out of the house. How to Teach Your Kids About Money From a Young Age If you ask us, there is no such thing as “too early” when it comes to teaching children financial literacy. From the moment they see you tap a card at the store, they're forming beliefs about money: Is money scarce or abundant? Is it something we talk about, or something we avoid? Does it control us, or do we steward it? We live in a world that constantly pushes kids toward consumption—commercials, YouTube, TikTok, billboards. A child who has never seen a Barbie Dream House commercial would be perfectly happy playing with pots and pans in the kitchen. The ad didn't just sell a toy; it told them what “ happiness” should look like. If we're not intentionally teaching kids good money habits, the culture is. That's why the earlier you start, the more “normal” healthy money habits feel. It's not a lecture—it's just how our family does life. How Early Money Experiences Shape Your Child's Financial Mindset Bruce often shares how his grandparents saved ration tickets from World War II on the windowsill for decades. They washed plastic forks and cups after every big holiday meal. Those early experiences created a deep, almost subconscious scarcity mindset. Later, his parents went through the inflation of the 1970s and the loss of a family business. All of that shaped how he views risk, saving, and spending even today. Your kids are also absorbing your story right now: How you react when an unexpected bill comes in Whether you complain constantly about money Whether you live in chronic anxiety or quiet confidence You don't have to be perfect. But you do need to be honest, consistent, and intentional. That's how parents can model healthy money habits for their children—far more powerfully than any lecture. Teaching Kids Delayed Gratification With Money: Saving First, Spending Later One of the most important money habits for kids that starts before they earn their first dollar is simply this: Save first, then spend what's left. It's the marshmallow test with dollars. Do I eat the one marshmallow now, or wait and get two later? With our kids, we use a simple three jar system for kids: give, save, spend. 10% to giving 40% to saving 50% to spending We started this when they were very young with transparent jars, so they could see money growing in each category. Anytime they earned money—from chores, business, or gifts we chose to include—we walked through the same process: Give first (generosity as a default, not an afterthought) Save second (for long-term wealth building and investing) Spend last (on wants and short-term goals) Over time, this shifted their thinking: “If I want $50 to spend, I have to earn $100.” “My savings isn't just future spending; it's capital for making more money.” That's teaching kids the difference between saving and spending in a way they can feel—not just understand intellectually. Teaching Kids About Saving and Spending: The Pain of a Bad Purchase For one of our daughters, the biggest teacher has been buyer's remorse. She's our spender. She'll get $25 and want to spend it immediately. Then, the next day, she sees something else she wants more, or realizes Christmas is coming and she wants to buy gifts for family—and that same $25 is gone. We don't shield her from that discomfort. We want her to feel: “Every dollar I spend here is a dollar I cannot spend there.” “My choices today affect my options tomorrow.” That's how to help your child avoid lifestyle creep and overspending later in life. It starts with small, low-stakes decisions that train their decision-making muscles long before those decisions involve cars, houses, and credit cards. How Chores and Earning Money Teach Kids Responsibility We don't pay our kids for basic chores. Chores—like cleaning your room, helping with dishes, cleaning up toys—are simply part of contributing to the family. That's how to raise financially responsible kids and emotionally responsible kids. But we do pay for above-and-beyond work that creates extra value: Vacuuming the whole house Cleaning all the bathrooms Larger projects we'd otherwise pay someone else to do That's when we start teaching kids that dollars follow value. Money is the result, not the cause. Bruce grew up mowing lawns, returning baseballs at the ball field, and collecting bottles for deposit money. No one handed him an allowance; he learned that if he wanted something, he had to figure out what value he could create in the world to earn it. That's also how chores and earning money teach kids responsibility: They recognize needs around them They see the connection between effort, value, and income They start to think entrepreneurially You're not just teaching kids about money management. You're teaching them how to think like producers, not just consumers. Helping Kids Develop a Wealth Mindset, Not a Consumer Mindset One of the biggest tensions today is balancing scarcity and abundance. On one side, there's fear-based scarcity: “We can't spend anything.” “We can never enjoy life.” “We must hoard every dollar.” On the other side, there's consumption-based scarcity: “If I don't buy the trip, the car, the concert, I'm missing out.” “I'm not enough unless I have more, do more, go more.” Both are fear-based. A wealth mindset says: I can enjoy life within wise limits. I choose meaningful experiences, not constant upgrades. I build a cash-flowing asset base that funds my lifestyle. This is where using Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow game to teach kids about money can be powerful. It shows them: Income vs Expenses Assets vs Liabilities The goal of building cash-flowing assets until passive income exceeds expenses In other words, how to give your child a wealthy mindset not a consumer mindset—by showing them a bigger vision for money than just “get paid, then spend it.” Teaching Teens About Debit Cards and Digital Money Today, money is more invisible than ever. Tap your phone. Click a button. Apple Pay, Google Pay, one-click checkout—no pain, no pause, no counting cash. For teens, that can be dangerous. Teaching teens about debit cards and digital money means pulling back the curtain: Show them their bank statement regularly. Connect each purchase to the actual hours of work it took to earn it. Talk about overdrafts, fraud, and security—not to scare them, but to equip them. With our 14-year-old,

    The podcast contains sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.In just the past few years, more than 40 young people, mostly boys ages 13–17, have taken their own lives after becoming victims of financial sextortion. They were not reckless kids. They were victims.Many were some of the most promising young people in America: smart, faith-based, goal-driven teens. Many had already chosen a college. Some were award-winning athletes, academic standouts, or community leaders.And in case after case, their grieving families said the same thing:“We had never even heard of financial sextortion.”That must change IMMEDIATELY.We can never again lose young lives because society doesn't want to hear uncomfortable truths. We can never again assume, “My child would never fall for that.” Most teens believe they are too smart to be fooled but tens of thousands of them are wrong.The crime of sextortion has changed and almost no one recognizes it.For more than 15 years, Million Kids has worked on the front lines educating parents, teens, grandparents, educators, law enforcement, and mental health professionals. Yet our hearts break every time another case appears as another family is devastated, another future lost because critical information never reached them in time.Here's the reality:Every teen we talk to believes they'll recognize catfishing. They won't.Most parents, and even pastors, believe their kids would never send a nude.One in six teens already has.Knowledge is power.

Discussion topics include leadership versus parenting, breaking out of old patterns, the impact of technology on youth, resilience, personal responsibility, and how families can cultivate effort, passion, and purpose (EPP) for real-world results. Quotes: "Obstacles aren't in your way to stop you—they beg the question, how badly do you want it?" "If the home is broken, society is broken, because what the home puts out is a reflection of that home." "Preparation is part of leadership. You have to be ready for the hard work and not look for an easy out." Resources: Connect with  Christopher S Mahan on LinkedIn Get Christopher S.

    Teens and young people are fun to watch. They have their WHOLE lives in front of them. And they are determined - that they will always or they will never or they will not be like their parents or they WILL be like their parents. Should we warn them? Should we tell them? Do they need to know that they are going to fail sometimes? That they are going to let people down sometimes? That the FUTURE version of them is going to need a lot of grace, mercy, and forgiveness? In this message, Max Vanderpool unpacks what it means to forgive yourself (and receive forgiveness) - because, in life, you're going to need it.

    Do non-Christians see Jesus, or politics, when they look at us? Tasha Heath doesn't identify as a Christian but has been around the church her whole life. She also worked inside party politics and saw enough behind-the-scenes behavior to step back. From the outside, her read is simple: basic kindness and steady presence change more than ballots and online fights ever will. Craig and Tasha ask the hard question: how do non-Christians perceive Christians, and is our politics-first posture helping or hurting the gospel? They dig into hypocrisy, homelessness, prisons, and why the church must find a way to look like Jesus, not the state.  They dig into: Optics of church vs. state and public witness. From activism to opting out & local care. Teens, algorithms, and outrage-discipleship. Prisons, plant “crimes,” and decriminalization. Early church imagination vs. modern nationalism.

My guest is Dr. Sharon Saline, a clinical psychologist who has spent over 30 years working with neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and families. In our conversation, Sharon breaks down what RSD is, how it shows up in daily life, and why understanding it can be such a game changer—for both kids and parents. We talk about the emotional and psychological impact of RSD, practical tools for managing it, and how to cultivate self-compassion and resilience in the face of painful rejection or criticism.

    This week on the show, Cynthia and Dr. Ken dig into the age-old issue of entitlement—how it shows up in American culture and how it shapes our teens. They talk about the everyday behaviors that reveal deeper beliefs about self-respect, responsibility, and personal standards.Dr. Ken explains why raising kids who expect rewards without effort creates long-term problems, especially when it comes to character, resilience, and financial responsibility. Together, he and Cynthia unpack how well-intentioned parents can unintentionally undermine gratitude by giving too much without teaching kids how to earn, wait, or steward what they've been given.They also explore the power of perspective—how serving others, seeing real-world needs, and broadening kids' experiences can dramatically reduce entitlement and build empathy. The episode wraps with a practical reminder: gratitude and responsibility don't happen by accident—they're taught, and they stick best when kids see their parents modeling them first. If you have a minute, please leave us a review.

    Are you parenting a teen in a world that feels far more complex than the one you grew up in? What if understanding the adolescent brain could actually help your teen not just survive—but truly thrive? Today's teens and young adults are growing up on a very different bridge to adulthood than previous generations. In this powerful and hopeful conversation, Colleen O'Grady sits down with Lisa M. Lawson, President and CEO of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and author of Thrive: How the Science of the Adolescent Brain Helps Us Imagine a Better Future for All Children. Together, they explore how adolescent brain science—now understood to extend into the mid-20s—can transform the way parents guide, support, and relate to their teens. Lisa invites us to see teens through a lens of possibility rather than problems and introduces five essential “cables” that hold up the bridge of adolescence, from connection and education to financial stability and youth leadership. This episode is both deeply reassuring and incredibly practical for moms who want to widen the bridge for their teens and help them grow into resilient, confident adults. Lisa M. Lawson is the President and CEO of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, where she leads national efforts to improve outcomes for children, youth, and families. Since stepping into the role in 2019, she has championed bold initiatives such as Thrive by 25, focusing on the wellbeing of Generation Z ages 14–24. Prior to becoming CEO, Lisa served as Executive Vice President and Chief Program Officer overseeing all grantmaking strategies, and as Vice President of External Affairs, where she led development of the KIDS COUNT Data Book. Before joining the foundation, she spent 14 years at UPS in senior leadership roles, including President of the UPS Foundation. She is also the author of Thrive, a hopeful and science-based guide to understanding adolescence. ⭐ Three Takeaways for Moms Teen behavior isn't defiance—it's development. Impulsivity, emotional intensity, and peer influence are signs of a brain under construction, not bad character. Parents often serve as their teen's “borrowed prefrontal cortex”—and explaining why decisions matter helps teens learn how to think, not just what to do. Widen the bridge instead of turning it into a tightrope. College, careers, sports, and interests don't have to be high-stakes, one-shot decisions. Teens thrive when they're allowed to explore, pivot, and learn by doing—building confidence and resilience along the way. Connection is the strongest protective factor. Teens don't need perfect parents—they need consistent, caring adults. One solid relationship can change the trajectory of a young person's life. Parenting was never meant to be done alone; it truly takes a village.

    Australia's Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act came into effect this week, barring anyone under 16 from having a social media account. With the growing concerns about how technology and platforms like TikTok and Instagram are harming children, there are calls in America to pass similar laws. Social media reform advocate and founder of Scrolling2Death.com, Nicki Petrossi, says teens under 16 should be prohibited from using social media. Petrossi recently joined The FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady to discuss the dangers of kids being online and why she thinks tech companies are not doing enough to protect them from online risks. She also explains how many big techs intentionally try to get young people addicted to their apps and products, and why parents need to act.

    Just before midnight on December 6, 1991, an Austin, TX patrol officer called in a fire at a yogurt shop and requested firefighters and additional officers. Once they managed to get the fire under control, firefighters discovered the bodies of four teenage girls in the burned out remains of the building, all having been shot execution style and the building torched to cover up the crime.Almost immediately, investigators on the case ran into a dead end, as leads were scarce and the fire and efforts to extinguish it destroyed or compromised critical evidence. In short time, the case went cold and the residents of Austin moved on. To their surprise, nearly ten years later, Austin detectives announced they'd arrested for young men for the crime, two of whom confessed, and it seemed like, after a long delay, justice would finally be served; however, in this case, justice was still a long way off and when it finally arrived, it came tainted by police misconduct.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1992.
