Rich Ruby, Poor Ruby Parent & Teacher Guide

Most parents want to teach their children about money but don’t always know how to explain it in a way kids understand.

The Rich Ruby, Poor Ruby Parent & Teacher Guide was created to walk with you through that process, step by step.

This guide helps you turn a simple story into meaningful life lessons by showing you:

✔ what to talk about

✔ what questions to ask

✔ how to explain choices without pressure

✔ how to connect the story to real life

Instead of guessing what to say, you’ll have gentle prompts and guidance that make money conversations feel natural, not awkward or overwhelming.

Why This Guide Matters

Many of us grew up learning about money through mistakes, stress, or silence.

This guide helps you give your child something better:

a calm, thoughtful way to understand how choices affect their future.

It helps your child begin to:

• notice the difference between smart and poor choices

• understand why planning matters

• think before spending

• see that habits shape outcomes

• feel confident instead of confused

And it helps you feel confident teaching them, even if you never learned these skills yourself.

What You’ll Use It For

This guide is perfect for:

✔ Reading together after the story

✔ Bedtime or quiet-time conversations

✔ Homeschool lessons

It’s not about teaching numbers.

It’s about teaching thinking.
