It\u2019s never too early to teach children about basic<\/span> financial concepts. This guide will help you teach them some basic topics that will help them understand money, how to invest it, and how to save it.<\/span><\/p>\n

PRE-K TO SECOND GRADE GUIDE<\/span><\/p>\n

Children are very curious, and, at these ages, they\u2019re learning to count, or to add and subtract. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Learning to use money<\/span><\/p>\n

If your child has learned to count, you can start talking to them about money. Make sure they see you pay with cash, so that they can become familiar with it. Reserve a few bills in your wallet to pay with when you are with them. Shopping games are also very effective, as they expose them to the exchange of money for an object. These allow them to learn the value of each bill and what it means to hand them all in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Learning to make money<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s good for your child to start doing small chores around the house in exchange for a cash reward. This will help them learn about the value of working and earning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Starting to save<\/span><\/p>\n

You can start by setting aside money in a piggy bank, so they can understand that there are different goals with money, such as spending and saving.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Understanding the difference between need and want<\/span><\/p>\n

This topic will teach your child that not everything that is wanted is necessary. Thus, your child will realize that some purchases are more essential than others. In addition, showing them items at home and practicing classifying them as necessary or wanted will help them better understand those concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Borrowing and accountability<\/span><\/p>\n

At this age, it\u2019s common for children to want to play with the toys of others. Therefore, they\u2019re taught to share, and it\u2019s important to teach them about the responsibility of borrowing something. You can make a list of all the toys they borrowed, with the owner\u2019s name and the return date. This supports that sense of responsibility and promotes accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n

THIRD TO FIFTH GRADE GUIDE<\/span><\/p>\n

During this stage, many children are ready to receive important savings lessons and open their first bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Priority when buying <\/span> <\/p>\n

Reinforce the concepts of \u201cwanting\u201d and \u201cdesiring\u201d. Practice making a home shopping list and numbering the items in order of priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Following a budget<\/span><\/p>\n

Agreeing on a budget will allow them to make better purchasing decisions. They\u2019ll learn to yield their money and prioritize when buying, so as to not run out of funds. They can also keep track of the budget and expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Opening their first savings account<\/span><\/p>\n

When the time comes, discuss the balance to open an account, the monthly fees, and the interest rate. You can introduce these concepts and start the conversation about how money saved can grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Understanding payment methods<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk about where money comes from and the different ways to get it. There is cash, but we also pay with cheques or with credit cards. These funds come from a bank account, from the same place where we withdraw the cash from at the ATM.<\/span><\/p>\n

SIXTH TO EIGHTH GRADE GUIDE<\/span><\/p>\n

In these grades, children have greater opportunities to receive some money. It\u2019s important to explain to them that they should avoid impulsivity with money.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>When you work more, you earn more<\/span><\/p>\n

You can introduce the concept of entrepreneurship in small businesses that allow them to earn money. For example, they can walk the neighborhood dogs, offer their car cleaning services, or even cut the grass of neighbors\u2019 yards. Open their horizons and show them several opportunities to make money independently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span>Long-term savings<\/span><\/p>\n

Teach them the importance of starting to save early. This will show them that there are things we cannot get momentarily, but that we must work for a period of time and save and then we will get them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stop talking to them about money<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, having regular conversations about money-related topics is very important for your child to understand how to manage it. Sometimes, parents prefer to keep their children on the sidelines, but this can hurt their future. Don\u2019t overwhelm them with financial concerns, but rather teach them about money in an interesting and fun way.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
