Sharon encouraged the mothers in attendance, that when it comes to money, let their kids stub their toe at home rather than breaking their leg on their own. Small steps like the pre-paid debit card that YOUTHpreneur offers is a great tool for experiential learning. Instead of giving them money each time they ask pre-budget an amount, put it on the debit card and let them have control of how it is used. Once it is gone it is gone until the next “payday.” Thank you Sharron for believing in the young people of America. Your book is fantastic and is motivating me everyday.
