"I used to think financial education could wait until my daughter was older. Now I think it’s worth introducing these ideas gradually. We read a little together and talk about things like saving pocket money and why prices change. It’s a useful way to learn as a family."

"One of my goals as a parent is to prepare my child for things they’ll eventually need to manage on their own. Understanding saving, borrowing, and investing is part of that. I like the idea of introducing these topics now, while I can still help explain them and answer questions."
