Courses for parents
Longer, more practical versions of the guides — worked through week by week, with the printables and scripts to go with them.
None of these are built yet — and none of them are for sale.
We would rather write the one people actually want than guess and write three. There is no price, no pre-order and no date. Add your address to the one you would use, and we will email you when it exists. If it never gets written, you will never hear from us about it.
Everything in the guides is free and stays free.
Parents of 4–8s starting pocket money from scratch
The First Allowance
A four-week, do-it-with-us start. Decide the amount, have the conversation, survive the week everyone quits, and come out with a routine that is still running at month three.
What it would cover
- Deciding the amount — and what the money is allowed to be for
- The five-minute conversation that sets the rules
- Week three: what to do when the novelty dies
- Adding a savings goal without killing the habit
Format
Four short video lessons, a printable decision sheet, and a week-by-week email that arrives on your actual paydays.

Parents who freeze on the hard questions
Money Talk
What to actually say when they ask why we cannot afford it, why their friend has one, or how much you earn — scripts for the conversations that arrive without warning, usually in a shop.
What it would cover
- "Why can’t we afford it?" — honest answers that do not frighten
- "How much do you earn?" — what to share, and at what age
- When their friends have more
- Saying no without making money the villain
- Talking about money in front of children who are listening
- What to say after you get it wrong
Format
Six lessons built around real scripts, with the reasoning behind each one and what to say when the first answer does not land.

Parents of 3–5s
Before They Can Read
The two money ideas that land years before reading does, and how to teach them to a child who cannot use any chart, tracker or app written in words.
What it would cover
- What a pre-reader can actually learn (and what to stop trying)
- The coin jar: why physical money out-teaches every app at this age
- Building a picture chart they can read alone
- Paying immediately, and why Friday is too far away
- Waiting until tomorrow — patience in the smallest useful dose
Format
Five short lessons, a picture-chart pack, and a coin-jar routine you can start the same evening.

In the meantime, the app is real
Sock Market exists today and does the daily half of everything these courses would teach — the jobs, the approving, the running total, and the reading-aloud for children who cannot read yet.
