Hello everyone and welcome to my blog at this hour. Parenting requires a lot of patience and commitment to be able to get the best out of your child. The way children are wired, they tend to hold on to the things they learn in their early days and it become a part and passle of their life. Even though what most parents pay attention in their children's upbringing is their health, happiness and a good life, it is also key to ensure their financial life is also put into consideration.
One of the training that we should imbibe into our kids as early as possible is to be financially responsible because in a short time they grow up and you'd have the opportunity to teach them again. When you start teaching them from their early years they would bear in mind that they have to spend wisley. They would know that they will always be in debt if they overspend. At a tender age it is easy for them to grasp the principles of financial education.
Have you wondered why children can memorise a poem of 50 - 100 words effortlessly or mimic you easily after seeing you say or do something? This is an ability that is unique to them at their early years. So, as a parent as you're teaching your kids how to maintain a good hygiene, and moral standards, try to teach them about finance as well. Start teaching them about money related matters no matter their age. There are kids financial educational materials that you can read and explain to them in a language they understand.
Also, as a parent there are books you can buy that will enable you have indepth understanding of financial education. You can purchase these books so that you can have a better understanding of what you are teaching the kids. You can also teach them some practical lessons such as paying them some amount of money for completing tasks in the house. You can also be open to them about the family's financial status. Let them know what you can and not afford as a family. This will groom them to manage wisely what you have provided.
When you provide adequate financial education for your children when they are young it will enable them become good money spenders as they grow.
