Lieber is the New York Times money columnist who spent years watching parents avoid talking to their children about money — out of embarrassment, out of the belief that children can't handle it, out of the fear that knowing will ruin something. His argument is that avoiding the conversation is exactly what produces spoiled children, and that honest, age-appropriate money conversations produce curious, grounded ones. Practical and principled in equal measure. The most P&P personal finance parenting book because it treats financial literacy as an extension of values rather than a separate subject.
