Teaching Kids About Money

It is never too early to encourage good money habits.

It is never too early to start good habits. Research shows that children as young as age 3 can develop an awareness of money and, by age 7, develop money habits for life.

We know that parents want their children to appreciate the value of money and understand how money works. In collaboration with Ireland’s leading financial education experts, we have developed a unique financial education programme for parents.

The material has been developed so that it can be delivered with ease in the form of engaging money chats and challenges. There is no complicated financial terminology and anyone with a little time can engage with programme material.

Topics include:

  • The history of money
  • Where money comes from
  • How to be smart with cash
  • Planning to save and spend wisely
  • Budgeting

The financial education programme is packed with interesting stories, challenges, and much more!
