“Starting to talk kids about money at a young age better equips them for life down the road,” Doyle said.
Parents will learn methods during the webinar to match those money lessons to a child’s developmental stages from experts at Lutheran Social Service, a partner of Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union in the Brainerd lakes area in providing financial education.
“Since we are a very consumer-driven society, it’s imperative for everyone to know the value of money and how it works,” Doyle said.
Parents can teach their preschool children about simple counting, for example, while older children can be taught more complex concepts like value, such as 10 pennies equaling a dime.

The Pequot Lakes School Board kicked off 2021 with its reorganizational meeting, but things should look similar in the new year.
During the Monday, Jan. 4, meeting, Kim Bolz-Andolshek was re-elected board chair, and Curt Johnson was re-elected vice chair.
Tracy Wallin previously held the positions of clerk and treasurer, but the district agreed to split the two roles to “be compliant with statutes.” In the coming year, Wallin will remain clerk, and Susan Mathison-Young will take over as treasurer.
The board agreed to maintain the current board member salary of $250 per month, $350 for the chair and $300 for the officers. When extra meetings arise, board members will be compensated $100 for full-day meetings and $50 for half-day meetings.
