Parent guides
Money habits get easier when the rules are written down.
These guides are short on theory and long on practical family decisions: allowance, saving, paid work, and the first compound-interest lesson.
Tiny Treasury works best when
- Parents keep the real money arrangement clear.
- Kids can see what changed and why.
- Allowance, chores, and savings goals have separate rules.
