Your kids will see what you do before they'll hear what you say. Since we can't turn back time, we can do the next best thing: teach our children the things we wish we had learned at a young age. ' Intentional Children was written to instruct parents on how to train their children about money, but any reader of any age or season of life can greatly benefit from its wisdom. Though Kalen lays out very specific steps to follow to successfully prepare children for the real world and how to handle finances, his advice applies to so many other areas of life. I love that he writes from a Christian, Biblical perspective and that he gently incorporates his faith throughout the book. Kalen says, 'I've done the majority of the leg work for you,' and the sharing of what he has gleaned from doing that leg work is an "invaluable gift for those who will read this book." - CHERYL E. SMITH, AUTHOR OF BIBLICAL MINIMALISM "Intentional Children by Kalen Bruce is one of the most refreshing books I have read in awhile. It approaches difficult topics like financial literacy and parenting in a way that is not only relatable, but also actionable. A very easy read and much needed especially in a time where there is so much uncertainty, being intentional is more important than ever!" - LORNE JENKINS, CEO OF MINI MONEY MANAGEMENT Kalen Bruce is the founder of Freedom Sprout, a project to cultivate financial freedom for future generations.
