    Children are economists, it's time to chat about it. Economics is the study of choices we make to be happy and children do this all day. Learning and applying the basic principles of scarcity, supply, demand and opportunity costs strengthens decision making and empowers children to make choices that serve their best interests.

    Economic terms are best learned and implemented when we show examples from everyday life. This session leads educators through lessons surrounding four familiar scenarios of grocery shopping, planning a family trip, summertime activities and hosting a yard sale for a fun and productive understanding of economics.
