Hey everyone, I know there has been many discussions here on why certain areas of life management (mental health, project mgmt, financial literacy etc.) hasn't been taught in school, and so I wanted to share this :).While homeschooling my son during the pandemic, I realized there was no good or fun information on financial literacy for kids -- I looked through everything BrainQuest, Kumon, Scholastic, etc, and couldn't find anything, and so since I already write about personal finance, I decided to create a workbook for kids 3-7 years old. 85% of the brain is formed by age 3, and this sets the foundation for all future learning. While kids learn about cars, dolls, buying toys and so much more from a very young age, as we know most standard curriculums don't cover financial literacy. As with all good habits, good financial mindsets are learned early in life! Hence, after months of creating, designing, and working closely with two female graphic designers, I have finally launched the first Kids Financial Workbook!I'm also proud to say that all of the characters in the worksheets are diverse and the play bills have women and people of color! The worksheets are super fun, colorful and include activities such as cutting, coloring, tracing, goal-setting, index-fund-learning and much more! It's available on Etsy :) (https://etsy.me/355Z6dK).Wanted to share here as I immensely admire this group and appreciate all of the selfless advice and support that is shared :-).

This is INCREDIBLE and so needed. I spent the past month learning about how to manage my finances for the first time and reading all about index funds, and here you are 10 steps ahead with these amazing worksheets. I love them and thank you for sharing!! I think it's so important for children to develop an interest towards money management as it's something that, at least in my upbringing and education, was not explicitly taught.

@teresaman Thank you so much, it means a lot to me!! I totally agree with you - it blew my mind that none of us knew or were taught about compound interest, index funds, personal finance and so much more. It's no wonder that there is trillions of dollars of credit card debt and student loans, and we are constantly being encouraged to consume. I'm so glad that personal finance is taking a stronger foothold now :).
