Kmart Helps Teachers and Parents Talk to Kids About Money Management -- maybe so they will not have to grow up and shop at Kmart perhaps?

Kmart Helps Teachers and Parents Talk to Kids About Money Management: "According to a new consumer survey* conducted by Kmart, three in four Americans feel it's more important for parents to discuss finances with their children now than it was 12 months ago. However, it seems that talking to their children may be easier said than done - as more than half of parents have a hard time simply broaching the subject of money management or finances with their children as they get older.

To get the conversation started, Kmart is taking steps to help teachers and parents instill financial literacy into America's youth with its Kmart Money Smart curriculum. Just in time for kids to head back to the classroom, the retailer has teamed up with TIME For Kids to develop the free, downloadable Kmart Money Smart curricula for teachers and parents available at www.kmart.com/teachers and on www.timeforkids.com. The retailer is committed to providing parents, teachers and students with the tools they need to go back to school with confidence."
