A recent survey shows kids go to moms first when they want to talk about money. The challenge for moms is: what do you say and when do you say it? Most adults today were never taught financial skills as children. Nancy Phillips, the mother of two young children and the founder of DollarSmartKids Enterprises Inc., is releasing a program on March 30th to help moms feel good about teaching their kids key financial skills.

Five years ago Phillips wanted to know exactly what to teach her own children about financial life and success skills and couldn't find what she was looking for. That led to a period of extensive research to find the "best practices" she could teach her own children. Now Phillips is sharing this information through an easy to use audio program in which she has boiled down the expert information into building blocks or "milestones." Moms and dads everywhere can use the simple concepts and lessons with their children during daily life right from the pre-school years through to the end of high school. Phillips says "parents need to be aware of these universal skills and when to teach them so their children have the opportunity to get hands-on practice and build their experience along with their knowledge. It's just like a sport; everyone needs practice to master a skill, they don't learn when someone else does it for them."

The milestones and framework discussed within the audio program and workbook gives parents a roadmap showing what to teach their children according to age. "Moms are so busy that the thought of reading a financial education book at the end of the day can seem overwhelming and not very motivating - even if we know we should. This program has been created in an audio format so moms can learn all the essential information they need while relaxing at the end of the day. We've all needed a roadmap to teach these skills for quite some time, that was what initially led me to start the research that went into this program," comments Phillips.

Topics addressed on the audio include:

*The Number One Trait in Children that Predicts Future Financial Success in Adulthood and How to Enhance It

*Why It's So Important to Start Early and How to Get Started

*Damaging Teaching Mistakes All Parents Should Avoid

*Money Skills to Teach Your Child by Age

"Financial illiteracy doesn't have to continue in future generations, we can break the vicious cycle now," Phillips concludes.

The audio program will be available worldwide March 30th in both physical and downloadable products at www.zelawelakids.com/store/
