Tonya - The first contract we wrote was when my daughter turned 13. That was the first time we thought about it. I think that earlier than that it could have been an effective tool, though, thinking back. It's worth a shot, at whatever time. You can just adjust the language to the match the age of your child. Best wishes! I’m so glad this is helpful to you!
