Talking to Kids About the Economy

Give a Unified Message

Make sure you and your spouse are in agreement about what to share and what to keep quiet.  During any kind of crisis that involves your family, the number one priority should be maintaining the lines of communication between you and your partner.  If you have a big announcement, tell your children together.  Seeing the two of you keep a united front will reassure them that you are working together as a family through whatever may come your way.
