Financial literacy isn’t just about managing money; it’s a foundational skill that fosters responsibility, planning, and long-term stability. Although finances are often associated with adulthood, learning to manage money early on can greatly reduce the risk of financial struggles later. Financial knowledge gives kids confidence, independence, and the ability to make informed decisions.
Financial literacy includes budgeting, managing income, saving, and avoiding debt. Children can start learning these basics through simple examples:
These skills help kids understand that saving is essential for financial stability and develop self-discipline.
Teaching financial literacy at a young age helps kids understand how money works and builds skills they’ll use throughout life. Using easy, relatable examples, children can learn not only the value of money but also the skills for future financial security.
November is Financial Literacy Month at ESTI School, where students can earn “school money” through activities such as:
This project gives kids hands-on experience with how the economy works and shows that effort, work, and responsibility are rewarding.
Here are some simple methods for parents to build financial literacy skills in kids:
Money management teaches children independence and develops critical thinking. Budgeting pocket money helps them prioritise needs versus wants, enabling them to make better decisions.
Throughout November, ESTI School children will reinforce these skills by earning school money through creative projects, classroom help, and supporting younger students.
Understanding basic financial principles will help children adapt more easily to society. Wise spending and saving habits reduce stress and improve financial security, building a solid foundation for a stable, confident life.
Financial literacy teaches children the value of work and the time needed to achieve their goals. Money management skills encourage a mindful approach to material goods, and foster empathy and a desire to help others. The November project at ESTI School will conclude with a school fair, where students can buy items made by their classmates, enhancing their understanding of trade and the value of work.
Financial literacy is a crucial tool for developing independence, responsibility, and stability. Money management skills help children build confidence, make important decisions, and lay the groundwork for financial independence.
