When Your Kid Wants a Credit Card - 160

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

The other day I was back in the Fox 35 Orlando studios to talk on air about another parenting topic. This time we were discussing kids and credit cards. Of course, a 3-5 minute morning TV segment gives little time to dig into the issue, so in this episode, I'm unpacking more of the conversations that need to be had and what to consider when your kid wants a credit card or debit card.

 

Let's dive into why your child might want a credit card, how to determine if your child is ready, and some considerations for what might work best for your child and family as a whole. This is an opportunity to teach your child the skill of managing money and will put them on a sure foundation for their adult years. Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/when-your-kid-wants-a-credit-card
