Dear parents and friends,
Welcome to AgahanView,
The National Institute
For Children's EARLY Financial Literacy
Because of the description of our school, it is often assumed that our school curriculum and services are programs for kids only . But the truth is they are as much for parents, adults and professionals as they are for kids.
Here are the reasons why:
1. The financial learning that we offer for children cannot happen outside the home and family.
2. Our research in recent years strongly indicated that the the lack of any significant result in almost all
financial literacy initiatives out there is due mainly to lack of parental involvement.
3. Our survey further revealed that this lack of parental involvement is caused by 4 things:
a. Parents lack of personal financial literacy, skills and being too embarrassed to admit it and do
something about it.
b. Parents' belief that it is the school's responsibility to teach their kids about finance related matter.
c. For parents who have financial background or training, they claimed they do not have the time or
the skill to teach their kids whatever they know.
d. Old traditions that made parents feel that money is something not discussed with kids and/or in
public.
4. Parents cannot impart what they do not know or have.
As we said in our Vision, Mission and Passion under "About Us" section of this site, we at AgahanView are out to IMPACT the current path of the youth today so that we will have a future generation of financially literate parents with new and different beliefs and practices about
Business, Money and Wealth.
We have developed many tools, programs and services including this finance curriculum to accomplish this. But like all the others we will not succeed without the important cooperation of parents. Willingness and collaboration of parents and the whole family are keys to receiving a brand new BMW experience as never delivered and taught before.
Thus our curriculum is dual in nature. One part of it is for parents and the other for children. We found out from our interviews of non-finance professionals who are successful in their career that they were not any smarter than others when it came to management of their wealth or finances. The few who were happy with their financial conditions and positions were those who were personally mentored or coached. The rest outside the world of finance got whatever financial literacy they have, if any from:"Life's Institute of Finance", the school where tuition for the "Trial and Error" methodology of learning is very expensive!
The goal that AgahanView wants to share with parents is to offer our children a better path and school than the above. Part of the foundation that will need to be put in place is the setting of clear beliefs and values about finance: about business, money and wealth that we want our children to grow up with.
This will call for the:
a. unlearning of many of things we were 'taught' directly or indirectly by our past social environment about business, money and wealth;
b. clarifications of what we think we know;
c. seeking to learn the proper things to know and practice and model them for our kids.
The services of great financial coaches whose main job is to
RESET minds of the people who are struggling financially
is a multi-billion dollar industry !
This indicates the seriousness of the unlearning of part of our past as one of the first factors in moving forward toward a new learning experience. Thus, this is an integral part of the Learning Foundation that AgahanView provides.
We, at AgahanView are confident:
We can help parents who are lacking in financial knowledge and skills.
We can help parents unlearn the wrong stuff.
We can help parents find the time and the place to engage the children in family finance.
We can help parents take back the primary responsibility of teaching their children in such crucial
subject area as finance.
We can guide parents along financial training methodologies.
We can help parents with plenty of tools, resources and community support of like minded parents
with the same goals and aspirations for their children.
All the above are possible on the following assumptions:
1. Parents C-A-R-E:
You, as parents care enough to do what it takes to help yourself.
| 2. No one cares about your children more than you do as parents and such would offer the utmost cooperation in their learning, training and development. |
You are in between your children and us. Our ability to impact your children depends very
much on your help cooperation and collaboration.
|
The EARLY Financially Literacy Advantage program for kids
is NOT about AgahanView.
It is a program about your kids and you. It is your program.
It is the program that truly can make your children become: financially savvy, responsible, fit and healthy
|
This requires that the family shows up. We offer on our part unique and powerful training programs anchored on the great desire to impact the direction of the growth of our children's new generation. With much care and concern on both sides, the trajectory of our children's financial development is set in only one direction: the direction of success.
Our children deserve this future direction.
So let us all take action and DO iT EARLY!
to reserve scholarship(s) for your family and yourself
and so that we can continue this dialog on the other side.
Through our scholarship program, all our services are Free for the taking by your family and you.
You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. That is our promise.
Your kids deserve a better financial future than yours. This is true even if you are one of the less than 1% people in this country who are financially set for a lifetime. I will explain why on the other side.
Dedicated to your kids financial training,
