"Daniel is getting his first job. Alexandra is about to have a bat mitzvah. It's pertinent to what's going on in their lives." ¶ The Strauss family is indicative of a trend that's sweeping the country. Whether by want or necessity, parents are taking greater pains to teach their children about such topics as budgeting and investing. ¶ Nearly half of parents said they were using the recession as a catalyst to talk about money to their children, according to a recent survey by T. Rowe Price Group Inc. ¶ "When things are going along fine, you just don't have to think about this," said Karyn Hodgens, co-founder of Kidnexions, a Rocklin, Calif., company that offers software to teach children about money. "But because parents' finances are in such a state, they're coming to the conclusion that now would be a good time to introduce these concepts to their kids." ¶ Experts agree that the recession is an ideal time -- a perfect teachable moment -- to help children learn how to handle money. But parents still say they're flummoxed about what to teach and how to teach it.
