What Teachers Really Want as End-of-Year Thank You Gifts

As the school year draws to a close (only a couple more days!), your child’s teacher will no doubt appreciate a thank you gift for all of their efforts. But, while they will show gratitude no matter what you gift them, we have news for you: Your child’s teacher doesn’t want another mug, and they definitely don’t want a framed picture of your kiddo. Don’t fret if these are your go-tos. We asked a handful of educators what they appreciate most. Tap the button below to get the inside scoop.

Weigh in on this week’s poll: Do you do teacher gifts?

(P.S. If you have a unique gift idea for teachers, tell us on the next page so we can add it to our roundup.)

I’m Worried About Passing Negative Money Habits on to My Kids—How Can I Teach Them Financial Literacy?

Many of us grew up in households where money was considered a taboo topic. Financial matters were discussed in hushed tones, and you definitely never shared money trouble with anyone outside of the home. As a result, so many adults struggle to have frank conversations with their kids about how to handle their finances. Especially if they’ve made money mistakes themselves.

But financial literacy doesn’t have to mean admitting every misstep you’ve ever made. Instead, it can mean introducing small, smart habits kids can learn from an early age, so they are better equipped to make informed money decisions later in life.

Some of these habits include the following:

• Give kids an allowance and show them how to save and budget. No Excel spreadsheet needed—a couple of jars or a sectioned piggy bank will do the trick.

• Talk about financial goal setting and how to save for “wants.” Start small with a toy or video game.

• Help your child to open a bank account in their own name. This provides a sense of ownership and accountability.

• Teach by example and enforce the need for an open dialogue. Share what you’re saving towards, how you manage the household budget, and more.
