📅 Every Saturday Morning! Lemonade Times is delivered fresh to your inbox every Saturday morning. You can read it together with your child over the weekend, or read a little bit each morning before school.💡
Pro Tip: "1 Day, 1 Secton"
Our newsletter consists of 5 sections. If reading it all at once feels like too much, guide your child to read just one section a day. Consistency is the best teacher!
🖨️ Bonus Tip: Try "Analog Mode" (Print it out!)
We highly recommend printing the newsletter on paper. Screens can be distracting. When printed, children can use a highlighter to underline key words, take notes in the margins, and focus much better. It gives them the classic "newspaper reading" experience!
What is it?: We summarize the hottest issues and trends that moved the New York Stock Exchange last week.
Parent's Guide:"At first, this might be a bit difficult for your child, just like hearing a foreign language for the first time. It is okay if they don't understand everything. It’s enough for them to just get a feel for it—like, 'Oh, oil prices are important right now,' or 'Chips are popular.' Even if it's difficult, just skimming through it is valuable. Constant exposure will eventually open their eyes and ears to the market flow."
What is it?: This section builds the "foundational strength" needed to understand the Wall Street news. We cover basic questions like "What is a stock?" or "What is the Nasdaq?"
Parent's Guide:"Think of this as a 'Stock Gym'. If your child asks, 'Mom, what is a Market Cap?' while reading the news, come back to this section. These building blocks will make their financial muscles strong."
What is it?: Beyond stocks, we explain the basic principles of the economy—like inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates—using simple metaphors (like pizza or lemonade) that kids can easily grasp.
Parent's Guide:"This helps them see the Forest (Economy), not just the Trees (Stocks). We break down complex concepts step-by-step, so try reading it together like you are solving a fun quiz."
What is it?: Each week, we shine a spotlight on one Public Company.
How they make money (Business Model).
How they connect to our daily lives.
Their current stock price and total value (Market Cap).
Parent's Guide:"Treat this like 'Company Shopping'. It’s a time to check the real value of things your child loves—like YouTube (Google), iPhones (Apple), or sneakers (Nike). It is the best way to develop a realistic sense of numbers."
What is it?: We share wisdom and quotes from legendary investors like Warren Buffett to inspire the right investment mindset.
Parent's Guide:"Investment is not just about technique; it’s about Attitude. Read these short quotes aloud with your child so they stay in their hearts. Think of it as a sweet dessert to finish off a great study session."
