Why should we discuss healthy financial habits early?

Habits Form Early

Research indicates that children as young as five have distinct emotional reactions to spending and saving, which predict their actual spending behaviors. Basic money concepts can be grasped by age three.

Good Influences are Key

Children primarily learn about money by observing their parents’ behaviors and attitudes. Parents who model positive habits—like demonstrating thoughtful spending and discussing budgeting—are more likely to raise children with healthy financial practices.

Prepare for Real World Experiences

Having the conversation early helps prepare children for real world financial experiences. Giving children control over their own money (via an allowance or earned money) to spend or save helps them develop decision-making skills and become more comfortable with financial discussions.

Understanding Needs VS Wants

Children often struggle to differentiate between necessities and luxuries. Discussing the difference early on  helps them gain a better understanding of saving and spending. This can help down the road when they are out on their own making purchases.
