Teaching children about investing is one of the best gifts you can give them. I believe it's crucial to start financial literacy at a young age, and investing is a key component of that. I’d begin with the basics (saving and budgeting) and gradually introduce the concept of investing. Understanding how money can grow over time through compound interest or wise investments can shape their future decisions and habits.
I’d also make it interactive. Instead of lecturing, I’d involve them by using apps, games, or even opening a small investment account for them. Real-world experiences are the best teacher. I think it’s important to show the risks too, so they don’t expect quick or guaranteed results. By instilling these principles early on, I believe I’d be setting them up for financial independence and confidence in managing their money later in life. Knowledge is the foundation for future success.
