Nationwide — Kevon and Kim Chisolm, and their son, Kamari, the founders of Junior Wallstreeters, will host a virtual discussion titled Let’s Talk About Money: Children and Financial Literacy: A Family Focus on Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 12pm to 1pm CST. This virtual discussion is prepared for parents, educators, and school leaders who want to support healthier money conversations with children. The discussion will be led by Kim Chisolm, who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Financial Therapist.
Money is present in everyday family life. Children notice how adults talk about spending, saving, and financial stress. Over time, those moments may shape how kids understand money and affect the financial decisions they make as adults. This discussion offers families a thoughtful starting point for building clearer, more supportive conversations around finances.
During this session, participants will explore why money conversations may feel challenging, when to begin age-appropriate discussions, and how families can implement a plan to support healthier financial habits at home. The focus is on practical, tangible guidance that’s sustainable for busy households.
Attendees can expect take-home strategies that fit real family routines, including ways to talk about needs and wants, saving goals, allowance decisions, and how to respond when children ask for expensive items. The discussion will also address how families can set expectations and model healthy money habits through everyday choices.
Kim Chisolm brings a clinical and family-centered lens to financial education, helping parents recognize how emotional patterns around money influence behavior over time. Her work emphasizes awareness, communication, and steady progress that supports both children and caregivers.
“Financial literacy begins long before a child opens a bank account,” said Chisolm. “Kids learn from what they hear, what they see, and what gets avoided. When families build calm, honest conversations around money, children develop confidence and a stronger foundation for future choices.”
She adds that parents often feel pressure to have all the answers. “When adults feel more grounded talking about money, kids feel it right away. These conversations do not need to be perfect. What matters is creating a space where questions are welcome, and learning happens together.”
Let’s Talk About Money: Children and Financial Literacy: A Family Focus will be held as a virtual event and is open to parents, teachers, school administrators, and community members.
