Many parents lack the promising vision for their child’s career. They want a kid to learn everything, at the same time they forget to ask, why? Study is required for mental education; sports for physical education, but what about it’s financial relevance? It’s true that the intrinsic value of study and sports cannot be calculated in monitory terms but what about having a vision to act for some income along with other activities.

History Of The Indian Education System
Our ancient education had many things to teach children about money from the elementary education itself. The children were supposed to complete their education in the ashram. For a complete education term, they had to work hard and in return, they were provided with education. During the final pass-out, students had to pay guru-dakshina (Fees) to their masters (guru) from their own earnings. This process was very encouraging for children to make themselves financially independent.

Ways to Inculcate Finance Education in Children
Let’s see how we can support our children to learn finance and money from their own efforts:

• Teach children about money from the day they learn numbers and counting. Educate them about it’s importance through stories and games.
• As children grow, they tend to demand more. Gradually teach them about the value of money. Tell them stories of your struggle and what difficulty you faced while started earning. Teach them about importance of saving and spending wisely.
• A lot of demands by the children are not genuine. Teach them to understand the importance of their demand. Let them decide about the importance of a demand being need or want.
• For their every requirement, provide a fix amount of money and try to give them a choice, so that they can select the one that suits them best, while saving some money. For example, if they want to buy shoes. Give them Rs. 500 for purchasing the shoes and tell them that whatever they will be able to save, it would be given back to them for their saving.
• As children grow, start giving them allowances for their monthly expenses. Keep strict watch on how they spends their money. Tell them to make details of expenses every month. If the children control his expenses well, then give him reward points and for the aggregate years point gives them some handsome gift. Whatever a child saves in a year, try to praise him and motivate to save more.
• Sometimes borrow money from children for their motivation and repay with some interest on the amount. This way, they will learn about interest and investment. They will be encouraged to save more.
• If children ask some question, then don’t ignore them. Answer them for all their queries until they are satisfied. Groom them to be more analytical as they grow.
• It is very important to allow children to experience the loss and profit on themselves. The loss will increase their risk assessment ability, and profit will motivate for better performance. Incase child feels demoralized then boost them with your valuable guidance for boosting the moral.
• While selecting the career, advise your child to keep a view on earning capacity along with interest in the opted field.
