What Parents Need to Know
About Cash in the Attic
Parents need to know that despite its fairly dry subject matter, this series can be lots of fun, especially for viewers with an interest in antiques, history, and craftsmanship. Experts put each featured item in the context of its historical and cultural background and often include biographical information about the creator. Auctions sometimes include vintage weapons or items related to smoking (a cigarette holder, for instance), but they're never shown in use. Some sellers may appear slightly greedy as they watch their earnings climb, but the series' focus on their predetermined goals for the money makes their reactions understandable.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the historical and cultural significance of the pieces in each episode. Where did the items come from? How old are they? How were they made? What were they used for? Did they have emotional significance to the family? Families can also discuss how an object's value is determined. What is the rule of supply and demand, and how does it affect the cost of an item? Tweens: Do you think everything has a price? Is there anything you'd never part with no matter what? Families can also share the history of their own heirlooms.
