Since now is the crisis time, many people who have children have lost their job. Not only they have to face the financial problem, but also they have some problems with their children. The question is should they tell their children about their financial problem or not? In this podcast you will hear some parents talk about their problem with the children. The interested thing in this podcast is the conversation ( kind of an interview) between Singletary and one woman with a very natural idea about telling her child about her financial problems. It's helpful because not only that woman got into that case but also a lot of people. So i hope this podcast will be handy for some of you.

This is a hot issue. It is very useful to know how to tell children if we face with difficulty of finance. Sometime children don't know and don't understand the parents' situation. I agree with this conversation. We should tell our children the truth and be honest with them.
I thought the one of the ideas, to tell their children that they are saving money for college or future needs, was really good. I agree that to make children panic is the worst case, but also children need to know that their parents are not super rich. So parents have to think a good way to let them know.
