Everyone is talking about the impending financial cliff which will occur in January if no compromise solution is reached between te House of Representatives and the President regarding budgetary issues.
Your teen no doubt has heard something about this. But even more importantly, he may have noticed your anxiety about this. How can you help him cope wih the impending problem?
First, take some seeing if he understads what the financial cliff is. Then help him understand what is occurring if he is not aware of the situation. Then take some time explaining to him about budgets annd financial management. Do not appear anxious yourself - he will struggle with hearing you discuss the difficulties if he sees you as worried.
And finally take some time to discuss money managment with him. Talk with him about how one does that and if he can see himself managing money better.
Good luck!
