Dan joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler to discuss 6 ways parents can help teens gain fundamental financial skills and get a leg up on financial independence.

One of the best ways to help kids learn is to allow them to make mistakes. The older they get the bigger the stakes and the greater the fear parents have around allowing them to make mistakes. So start today. Just take a deep breath and let them learn.

And if you want them to learn in a safe environment get a Troomi phone so you can set up appropriate access to everything on the phone right in the parent portal. Troomi lets you guide your child in learning to use smartphones is a safe and healthy way with plans that grow with your child.
