Key takeaways:
- Teens are curious about investing—especially when their questions lead the way.
- You don't need to be an expert to start the conversation.
- Investing can be a shared moment, not a lecture.
Teenagers are often more curious about investing than we expect. Sometimes, all it takes is the right way in.

With the Schwab Teen Investor™ account and its built in educational resources, he lets their questions guide the conversation and along the way revisits a conversation he once avoided himself.
