Developing good money habits from an early age can be key to your child’s financial wellbeing. Research shows that financial wellbeing is higher for people whose parents provided them with advice on money matters when they were growing up. We know it’s one thing to explain a financial concept to young people but demonstrating it with real life behaviours can really help them understand it better.
The Financial Basics Foundation has developed a toolkit of practical activities, fact sheets, tools and tips designed to help you build the financial capability of your children.
