She gave them a weekly allowance and encouraged them to split it into three jars: spend, save, and give. When her daughter wanted a new bike, she helped her set a savings goal and track her progress. Instead of handing over money, Emma used the opportunity to teach budgeting and patience.<\/p><p>When her son turned 16, she introduced him to credit by adding him as an authorized user on her card. She showed him how paying bills on time builds credit, while missed payments hurt it.
