Starling Kids Takeover

#AD This special episode of Dope Black Dads is sponsored by Starling Bank. Today, we are joined by my children, Blake, 6, and Ocean, 4, who embark on a daring mission to learn about money with the help of the Starling Kite card. Starling Kite is a debit card made for 6-16 year olds and linked to your own Starling account, all with the aim of helping kids learn to spend like an adult and understand the value of money. In the #StarlingKidsTakeover Challenge, Blake and Ocean took over the family budget! We learned so much without it feeling like a lesson, everything went swimmingly, that is until my own kid denied me a haircut! They learned enough to be reticent to splashing cash on their dad! Tune in to hear how our journey went, check out this handy worksheet to help you complete the challenge https://www.starlingbank.com/docs/KidsTakeover.pdf or learn more about the Kite Card here https://www.starlingbank.com/current-account/kite-debit-card-for-kids/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=IGstory&utm_campaign=sm. 

AD BONUS: Money Special - A Grand Day Out  How do we teach kids the value of money? What would happen if we put them in charge of the family budget for a whole day? And what is better, knickers or cheese?   To find out the answer to these pressing questions, we teamed up with Starling Bank for this special bonus episode. We gave our lads a budget for a family day out, and a Starling Kite card so we could keep track of their spending. Tune in to find out whether they wasted it all on V-bucks and sweets, and whose son spent the most on their Mother's Day present. True story: we've been with Starling for years, and we're big fans of their work. It's super easy to apply for an account with them and their app is so simple to use. The Kite card is a great way to get kids thinking about money, and it's only £2 a month. We had a right laugh testing it out with our boys, so why not give the #StarlingKidsTakeover Starling Kids' Takeover challenge a go yourself?  You can sign up for a Kite Card here https://www.starlingbank.com/current-account/kite-debit-card-for-kids/?utm_source=acast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=smAnd check out their worksheet here https://www.starlingbank.com/docs/KidsTakeover.pdfMany thanks to Starling for sponsoring this episode.
