Values-Driven Allowance

Values-Driven Approach, Book 1

By: Justin Alt

Narrated by: Richard Roth

How could honesty impact how a seven-year-old spends her money?

What could a teenager do to simultaneously earn money and demonstrate gratitude?

How can parents and children discuss values in a way that encourages children to listen and engage?

Listeners will find answers to the questions above, along with many other thought-provoking ideas, in Values-Driven Allowance.

Values-Driven Allowance presents a path for families to follow, starting with developing a set of shared values and then creating an allowance structure for children that aligns to those values. To make the information more tangible, every section ends with the story of three families implementing the guidance offered.

An allowance structure offers a tremendous opportunity for families to launch and sustain a conversation about values. Money represents a form of power, and children who learn to connect that power to their values will build the skills necessary to make thoughtful decisions about their finances.

Few things capture children’s attention the way money can, so an allowance structure aligned to values offers a platform for discussion and reflection that children will engage in enthusiastically.

Values-Driven Allowance is the first book in the Values-Driven Approach series. The Values-Driven Approach offers guidance to families seeking to develop and align to a set of shared values. The approach does not emphasize or discourage any existing set of values or belief system. Instead, it leads families through the process of determining their values and aligning to them.
