Hi, this is Janet Landsbury, welcome to Unreffled.

So those of you that listen here regularly know that I like to cover several emails or

questions that share a similar theme together in one podcast because I want to try to be

as helpful to as many people as possible.

In this case, I actually have two categories that all these parent questions fall into.

One of them is back to school, issues surrounding or that happen around going back to school.

The second one, probably more important, is ways that children show us that they're uncomfortable

on some level and what can we do to help them.

I'm looking forward to getting into this.

Today's episode is sponsored by Acorns.

Acorns helps you and your kids save and invest.

As busy parents, we have enough going on.

Do I understand that investing for my family's future is important?

Yes, do I have time to sit down and figure out how to do that?

Well, actually, it turns out I do because Acorns takes only a few minutes to set up

and it allows me to automatically contribute on a regular basis to a portfolio

that is already diversified for me based on my risk tolerance.

Acorns takes one more item off of our to-do list.

And the best part, there's no expertise required.

Investments are automatically put into diversified portfolios based on your risk tolerance.

Acorns even has exclusive financial education content for your whole family.

The sooner you start investing, the more chance your money has to grow over time.
