Financial Literacy For Kids
Introducing your child to financial literacy early sets the stage for economic success. Here are some practical ways to make financial literacy a part of their life:
Allow your children to handle money, count change, and grasp the value of a dollar during shopping trips.
Use an allowance as a practical earning lesson to underline the importance of working hard.
Encourage them to think before buying, helping them make smarter decisions about their wants.
Turn bill discussions into educational moments discussing household necessities vs everything “extra.”
For a more in-depth analysis of these strategies and more, visit FSB’s blog post discussing the importance of financial literacy.
