Teaching Children Money Habits for Life

helpful guidelines and suggestions that you can follow, including some fundamental basics, methods of teaching your young children how to save, in addition to helping them learn life-important skills. 
 

Activities to do with your children

Very young children simply do not know what we mean when we ask them 'how many?' and it takes a long time for most children to understand what a number is. This isn't surprising because it is a difficult area for a child to grasp. From an early age, children learn the names of things like 'cup', 'teddy bear' and 'car'. These are relatively easy for them to learn because we can point to a cup and say its name. 
 

Pocket Money How To Approach

An understanding of the concept and value of money is essential for any child and most children are introduced to money through the pocket money that they receive from an early age. There are, of course, no hard and fast rules as to when children should start to receive pocket money, but those as young as four or five years of age may already understand that money is needed to buy things and, once it has all been spent, no more is available for a while.

Interesting Fact
If children aren't taught the basics about looking after their money, what will happen to those savings you worked so hard for when your kids are old enough to look after it themselves? Teaching children money habits for life will help turn them into money saavy adults!

Unit Trusts for Children

Whatever your children or grandchildren dream of doing when they grow up, why not indulge more than their imagination?

Whether they want to travel the world or step onto the first rung of the property ladder, fund their way through university or organise the wedding of their dreams, you can give them a great start in life by investing for their future with a Legal & General unit trust.

And whether you have a little to invest or a lot, if you start now you could begin to grow a fund that will help you give your child a great financial start in life.

Tax Exempt Saving Plans (TESPs)

One of the best ways to save for your children's future is the Tax-Exempt Savings Plans (TESPs) from friendly societies. TESPs offer parents a simple way to save up to £25 for each family member per month in addition to, or instead of, a CTF.

TESPs can help you build up a lump sum for any child through small regular payments. You choose when the money is available for them, but the policy must run until they’re at least 16 and run for a minimum of 10 years.

TESPs are available for every member of the household so a family of four could save up to £100 a month tax-free and, provided the TESPs have been set up in the parent's names, the money remains firmly under their control. In addition, the flexibility of TESPs mean that they can be set up to mature at different points in a child's life.
