WHY A FINANCIAL LITERACY YOUTH-PARENT-GURADIAN PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM IS A WISE INVESTMENT IN A CHILD'S FUTURE FINANCIAL FITNESS FOUNDATION?
I am so glad to hear and answer this question because it is a very common one. Our passion is empowering youth and providing access to quality e-learning tools, technology and skills for future youth-preneurs to tap into, at any stage of their childhood. Of course, sooner is better. With that in mind, we consider financial literacy literally as one of the critical academic studies needed to prepare children for adulthood with a mature money mindset and fiscally responsible habits and behaviours: financial academic competence; money manage mastery; earning practices, power and potential; and saving and investment savviness.
Our practical and comprehensive program serves children 7-17 years of age which means that children are in school during the day and most probably involved in extracurricular activities and in the case of High Schoolers, jobs. Financial literally is a timeless gift and a pivotal crucial complement of a well informed, well rounded and well prepared learner. As such, it is not meant as a divergence or replacement of any traditional main stream learning obligations. My recommendation is that you sit down and plan with your child and family members to strategise a schedule that affords your child the opportunity to include the assimilation of a steady and regular financial fitness diet of readily consumable financial online training on a set timetable that does allows the child to maximize the benefit from the financial lessons in earnest. The most attractive part of e-learning is that it affords children and families the ability to choose how long, when and where to fire up a laptop or tablet and delve into the e-courses. Long trips and weekends are some examples moments to e-learn. However, kids needs a formal time set aside that they can anticipate, prepare and attend the e-course attentively.
Our e-finance foundations program is geared for 7-17 year old's. However, we strongly believe and urge parents to establish and engage children in financial aptitude awareness, planning and practice with money management, with conversations about money and modeling fiscally responsible behaviours, starting from a very young age. Younger children are sponges and soak up information even when we as adults may not see or think that a child understands. Any early education will benefit and develop a child's curiosity and day by day, appreciation for the value of finances even from merely being in the presence of older siblings who are actively involved in a formal financial education. Money is a central part of our daily expenses and household's lifestyle, so do engage honestly with your children as you teach them about the uses and need for money transactions and savings.
