Ensuring that your kids know how to deal with money as they are growing up give them a much better shot at a trouble-free economic life as adults.
It need not be a topic that you should teach them, and indeed the best lessons your children will receive will be from observing you in your daily life. For this reason, it is important to be open up about what is going on in the household and discuss problems openly with in front of your kids when appropriate.
As they get older, your children will be directly introduced to increasingly complex aspects of home economics - from saving and earning to budgeting and investments.

Encourage them to get involved when you’re shopping or in the bank so that handling money and understanding what it means becomes inculcated in them.
