Hi Hivers friends, have a nice weekend everyone.
Children are little angels who have minds like white paper that are still very clean, meaning that children can accept anything that is taught to them that is very influential for their lives in the future, especially about the basics of finance which will be the most valuable knowledge for the child.
Well, in terms of teaching about the basics of finance, I think this is a responsibility for parents, the reason is very simple because children prefer to imitate something they see rather than what they learn from theories in school.
That's why there is a very legendary saying in Indonesia that says "The fruit always falls not far from the tree", meaning that children will always follow what they see their parents do.
Therefore, parents are more entitled to teach the basics of finance to their children with actions that practice how to use money well in front of children such as always spending money on productive things and avoiding debt.
Because if children learn the basics of finance in school, they will not know how to practice it and the lessons they get will just pass by in their brains, teachers only teach theory without practicing it directly.
However, when children see their parents' behavior in managing money well and practicing the basics of finance well in front of them, the children will be smarter in understanding the basics of finance.
This opinion is purely from my own head research, because I have so many children who are good at managing their finances well because they can learn directly from their parents since they were little.
Likewise, many children cannot control their finances because of the factor of following the behavior of their parents who cannot manage their finances well.
