I consider it an excellent initiative, children should gradually learn about money, I try to encourage the existence of bitcoin with my little daughter, about the importance of freedom and not having counterparty risk, I know she doesn't understand me 100% because she's still little but I'm already planting the spark in her, we play the "THNDR -BITCOIN BAY" game and she has fun while we stack some SATS, even recently while my wife was preparing dinner, my daughter approaches her and says - mom, I offer you a deal, give me your TLF to play Bitcoin BAY and I'll earn some Satochis for you, tell me you're interested in my offer - immediately 🤣 she succumbed to a fit of laughter seeing her brilliance, and how she tried to get the phone to play by using persuasion with her mother to earn some SATS, since little by little she hears us talk about Bitcoin and how important it is for people and for us 👥
Getting back to your point, it is essential that children grow up studying and knowing about money. This will prevent them from falling into the rat race, or trying to make an easy living by doing things that harm or damage others. Personally, when I was 12 years old, I tried to get my first job. My neighbor, who was younger than me, worked as an assistant on Sundays in a restaurant owned by other neighbors. I grew up in a humble place. My home was my mother, my grandmother, my stepfather and I. But my neighbor's house was him, his brother, two more sisters and only his mother as the head of the household.
So my mother told me firmly and categorically. -You don't need to work! The neighbor works because he helps his mother and there are many people in that house and only his mother has income- I understood the situation slightly, but the days went by and the need to spend woke up in me, the social system of consumption was beginning to take over me, I wanted to go to the movies with friends, or eat out on a weekend, a new pair of shoes, buy comics, or maybe I needed new parts for my bike, my entire economy depended on my mother, if she could give me money it meant that I could finally access any need, so I insisted once again on the idea of ​​working at my neighbors' restaurant. This time my mother's answer was the following: "You are not going to work, because then you fall in love with money and then you don't want to study." This last comment always threw me for a loop, because I didn't understand what was wrong with money. Finally, about two years later, I achieved my goal 🎯 and my mother let me take my first job when I was 14. I didn't understand it back then, but I guess her expenses were growing and in the end, me having a job to cover my personal expenses relieved her expenses at home. She never told me or certified it to me, but I understood it years later.
Today I don't want to repeat that cycle with my children, which is why I seek to teach them about Bitcoin as much as I can. They are smarter than me and I know they will do better.
What a funny story about your daughter. Speaking of your mother's case, I suppose that over time she has realized that the love of money is not so bad.
