Kids Can Be Affected by the Economy

Kids can be affected by the economy especially if parents talk about it.  With things going bad financially, parents need to be honest with their children, but not over stress them.  The kids do not need to know if there are major issues and problems.  They need to be able to realistically look at things and evaluate what's going on.  It's important when it comes to the economy that you don't overdo it; that you don't try to get into a situation where you stress those children out.  It's very important that they have a chance to be children and to really live as kids.
