Last year, youth money-management app Mydoh released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydoh.ca\/learn\/blog\/banking\/financial-literacy-survey-how-canadian-parents-feel-about-money\/#:~:text=Mydoh's%20survey%20revealed%20that%20more,literacy%20to%20a%20greater%20degree.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial literacy survey<\/a> of Canadian parents with kids between the ages of six and 18. They found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>46 per cent feel they had to&nbsp;<em>unlearn<\/em>&nbsp;bad financial habits from their childhood<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>54 per cent feel their parents didn\u2019t teach them enough about money and budgeting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>49 per cent feel their kids are more curious and motivated to learn about money than they were at their age<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It got me thinking. Looking at the study, it seems many of us <i>want <\/i>to learn about money when we&#8217;re young \u2013 and we want our parents to teach us. A parent&#8217;s words and actions around finances can shape their kid&#8217;s relationship with money for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping growing kids get comfortable with money often revolves around an allowance, but teaching the difference between needs and wants, and simply talking money in everyday family conversations can also be extremely beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although my daughter has barely started school, I&#8217;ve started sharing the basic money principles I write about in <i>Inspired Investor<\/i> with her. It&#8217;s a delight seeing her light up when I explain how to earn, save and spend money. The popularity of my lessons <i>may<\/i> have something to do with counting out chocolate chips\u2026 but the important thing is that she grows up feeling comfortable talking about money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of our teaching moments have unfolded naturally, like the time my daughter exhausted the last of her garage-sale proceeds on a playset (\u201cWallet&#8217;s run dry, kiddo!&#8221;) or when I had to explain what I meant by an arcade game being \u201ctoo expensive.&#8221; Others have been less spontaneous, like when I sat her down to talk about the nature of work. I&#8217;ve even heard of parents awarding their kids shares in the Bank of Mom and Dad! (Love the idea, but maybe in a few years.) As my daughter grows older and begins to understand more about finances, I&#8217;ve accepted that not all of our conversations will be the fun kind about getting ahead and spending wisely. What do I do when my kid asks me why we can&#8217;t buy something? Or, when she&#8217;s older, about debt? What about paying bills, bankruptcy and so on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I admit, I&#8217;ll likely hesitate. I remember hearing those unfamiliar words through the walls at night as a kid, followed by bad news in the morning \u2013 all without a real explanation. As a result, money was a source of intimidation growing up. Would I expose my daughter to these same frightening aspects of finance, and risk her growing up too soon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As my daughter&#8217;s \u201chows&#8221; and \u201cwhys&#8221; multiply, I realize what made me especially fearful of finances wasn&#8217;t having too little money \u2013 it was knowing too little about it. After all, debt is scarier if you don&#8217;t have a plan to repay it (or a plan to avoid it in the first place). Economic downturns can cause lasting concerns if you haven&#8217;t thought about savings. Even having <i>ample <\/i>hard-earned money can be anxiety-inducing if you lack a budget or spending plan. Guess what? Seems I&#8217;m part of that 54 per cent who wish they had the scary conversations with our parents, so I could face those money issues with more confidence as an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while I might not jump straight into discussing how to build a balance portfolio with my daughter anytime soon, I feel more determined than ever to start her early on a lifetime of financial confidence. Bring on the toy cash registers, piggy banks and neighbourhood lemonade stands. And when she can handle it, the tough stuff, too. The time (and chocolate chips) are well worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapsefacf5742\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapsefacf5742\" data-dig-id=\"LP-75221-facf5742\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Disclaimers\"><div>Disclaimers<\/div><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapsefacf5742\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>Investment advice is provided by Royal Mutual Funds Inc.
