Key Highlights

The impact of a contactless society on children's understanding of money

Parents need to allow their children to make mistakes and face the consequences

Teaching kids about money by making it fun and incorporating it into daily life, rather than lecturing

Parents with money may need to teach their kids about scarcity and give them the opportunity to learn how to budget by not always providing them with money

Teaching kids to budget by giving them a small allowance or making them work for their money can be a better way to show the importance of budgeting than just giving lectures or guidance
