So, begin teaching strong financial savings habits with their allowances.    Peer pressure is a bad way for kids to learn about money and spending.    Tweetable Quotes:     “Fortunately, or unfortunately, a lot of it is teaching to the standards and so teachers have a lot of good insight going into it and into their training of what that state’s standards are for that grade and that subject.” – Frankie Calkins     “You’ve just got to find ways to make it fun and express your own personality and get the kids interest. Because if you did just teach to the standards day in and day out it's going to get exhausting.” – Frankie Calkins     “I think right now we are at about 20 states that do require financial literacy curriculum. Only one of which, I think it’s Utah, actually tests against standards.” – Frankie Calkins   Resources Mentioned: Linkedin: John Chapman Linkedin: Frankie Calkins Bloomberg article See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
