It is that time of the year when you start budgeting and declare investments for official purposes. This task becomes more harrowing when you are really bad at maintaining paperwork.
After watching me stumble and fumble through such tasks during the pandemic lockdowns, my daughter started helping me get more organised. These days, as she puts papers in order digitally, she also bombards me with questions about equity, risks and more. These don't just leave me stumped but also bring back that panic-stricken feeling of being in math class when a teacher asked me to solve a differential equation.
As these queries have started increasing in scope and number, I keep looking for resources that could ease these conversations. When I started this search, I was expecting convoluted explainers but to my surprise, I found engaging books and workshops that helped introduce financial literacy to children as young as seven and eight.
Gone are the days when education on money matters ended with pocket money, piggy banks or games like Monopoly. Gen Alpha kids have gone way beyond such simplistic methods.
Being the biggest influence on family spending, they are adept at online shopping and are well aware of new developments in blockchain and cryptocurrency. The fact that they have access to the digital world also means that they could be more susceptible to financial fraud and misleading information. It is for this reason that financial literacy needs to start early.
