The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money

The Opposite of Spoiled (2015) is a parenting book by New York Times money columnist Ron Lieber on how to talk to children about money. Lieber argues that parents should not hide the subject but use questions about allowances, chores, saving, giving and what the family can afford to teach values such as patience and generosity. He offers practical advice on topics from the tooth fairy and phones to part-time jobs and paying for college, aimed at raising children who are grounded rather than spoiled.
