Kids Need Good Money Habits - Here's How to Teach Them
“Kids pick up on how we feel around money, and it shapes their relationship with it…”
I truly believe that money and finances should be a family affair. How else can you tackle generational money blocks if you don’t start having the open and honest conversations with your kids that your parents may never have had with you?
As adults, conversations about money tend to be more on the serious side, but as I point out in this article with Interac, teaching kids about money can and should be kept fun and simple.
It’s also important to do things like:
Including them in conversations about family finances
Letting kids experience money in real-life settings
Making budgets less about restriction and more about expansion
Good money habits start in early childhood and help create a financial foundation as kids become adults. By teaching them early on the importance and value of money, you’ll be helping them learn that investing in themselves pays off.
