A site like Young Investor can do this in a fun and user-friendly way. Being honest with your child about money is the most important thing. Utilize the vast number of tools and resources available online to promote your child's interest. Having a good, basic knowledge of financial facts now, will save them a lot of the agony many of us went through when we first stepped out on our own.

This site would be more interesting for older children than little ones. Children and Money is an excellent introduction to the subject from the National Center for Financial Education. We welcome your comments.
