How Do I Teach Financial Literacy to My Kids?
It can be daunting to teach something to your kids that you weren’t taught very well yourself! But don’t worry, Schoolio has you covered!
It's never too early (or too late) to Start
- Talk about money often. Explain how you think through purchase decisions.
- Model good financial choices. Tell your child why you make the choices you do, and how they may play out in the future.
- Role play real-world scenarios. Whether it's a play trip to the grocery store or a fantasy stock exchange, let them play it out!
- Give them real money to experiment with. Let your child have some money of their own that they can spend or save as they wish.

Let's Teach Our Kids About Finances
From a young age, kids learn that money means something, but what about finances?
Often times when children receive money, they walk through the toy aisle with the thrill of knowing something there can be theirs! And all thanks to that money that they have. But finances are so much more than just receiving money and rushing off to purchase something. Money has value. Money has purpose. And teaching our kids that from a young age is extremely important.
