Family

Smart Money Lessons.
Meet Wyatt, Why, and the whole family as everyday adventures turn into BIG questions about money, saving, giving, planning — and why it all matters.
Episode 1 Is Coming!
Wyatt gets birthday money and discovers one very important question: Where did all his money go?
Where Did My
Money Go?
Wyatt gets $20 for his birthday and suddenly feels rich! But after a trip to the toy store, his twenty dollars isn't looking quite so big anymore.
With a little help from his family — and a lot of help from Why — Wyatt discovers that money can have different jobs.
Meet the Why Family!
They're curious, funny, sometimes a little messy — and they're always asking questions.

Money Has Jobs!
The Why Family turns everyday moments into simple lessons children can understand, remember and talk about at home.
SPEND
Some money can be used for things we want or need today.
SAVE
Some money can be tucked away for something important later.
GIVE
Some money — or even things we already have — can help someone else.
EARN
We can earn money by working, helping and creating value.
Because kids have BIG questions.
Money. Saving. Helping others. Planning ahead. Protecting the people we love.
Those can sound like grown-up topics — but the ideas behind them start much earlier.
The Why Family uses stories, songs, laughter and everyday adventures to help children begin understanding those ideas one big “WHY?” at a time.
The Parent Hub
The episode may end, but the best conversations can keep going.
Big lessons start with little conversations.
The Why Family uses stories, songs and plenty of “WHY?” moments to introduce kids to ideas about money, responsibility, generosity and planning ahead.
You don't need a financial lesson plan. Sometimes the best place to start is simply asking a question.
The 3-Jar Challenge
Grab three jars, cups or containers and label them:
The next time your child receives money, ask:
There isn't one required way to divide it. The goal is to help children think about their choices and start the conversation.
Ask a Big WHY
What's something you'd really like to save for?
What's something you think is worth spending money on today?
How could we use money — or something we already have — to help someone else?
