The Opposite of Spoiled
“The Opposite of Spoiled” by New York Times columnist Ron Lieber is a parenting book about raising kids who are grounded, generous, and financially literate. Lieber argues that regular, honest conversations about money—covering topics like allowance, chores, saving, giving, and what things cost—can help children develop gratitude and compassion rather than entitlement. He offers age-based suggestions and real family examples, plus thoughts on tricky issues like privilege and inequality. Homeschool parents use this book to design their allowance systems, give kids meaningful roles in family giving, and integrate money lessons into everyday life.
