Hi everyone,
I’m researching how parents teach children about money and would love some honest feedback.
Most money boxes focus on:
I’m exploring whether children aged 6–9 can also start understanding the idea of investing.
One concept I’m considering is:
A money box with four sections:
The Invest section would work differently.
When children leave money invested, parents could occasionally award special “Growth Coins” that represent investment returns (for example, one Gold Growth Coin = £1).
The idea is to help children see that money can grow over time if it isn’t spent immediately.
I’d genuinely love your thoughts:
- Do you currently talk about investing with your child?
- If not, why not?
- Do you think 6–9 is too young?
- Does the Growth Coin idea make sense?
- What would you change?
I’m researching at this stage rather than selling anything, so honest criticism is very welcome.
Thank you.
