This is Ask Lisa, a podcast to help people understand the psychology of parenting.

Psychologist Dr. Lisa DeMore, author of two New York Times best-selling parenting books, takes your questions.

And I'm co-host, Rina Ninan, a journalist and mom of two.

Some of what we talk about comes from raising children ourselves.

Most of the time, I'll be getting answers to your parenting questions.

So send your questions to Ask Lisa at Dr.LisaDemore.com.

Episode 96, How Do I Raise Financially Responsible Kids with special guest financial expert Bobby Rebell?

your daily life. If you take your children with you to do whatever you're doing, even as toddlers,

you can point out to them, gee, we have a choice between two things.

What should we use to decide which product we buy at the store?

And if they say the one with a prettier picture, you can point out, that's fine.

It may cost more, it may cost less.
