Let Children Manage Money? To some extent, our life is tightly connected with money which supports our daily expenses. Thus it is natural to see that more and more parents start to restrict their children's exposition to money in order to prevent them from wasting it. However, I rather disagree with this. It would probably be more accurate to say that only when children learn how to manage their own money at a young age can they become financially responsible adults finally. There is no denying that there are some risks when doing so. Thus most families will not let children manage their own money all the time. But according to a recent survey conducted by IMO (International Media Organization), 9 out of 10 people who are in the upper class agree that they had some instructions and freedom on dealing with money when they were under 10 years old. Besides, some of them mentioned teaching such a lesson associated with money could fill the blanks of traditional school education. Moreover, it is customary to say that managing money is a big topic, which is totally too hard for a child to understand it well enough. However, it is well worth noticing that this assertion cannot be taken as a general rule. Take myself as an example. I was fond of financial knowledge even when I was in kinder garden. Since I could recognize some words, I have thrown myself in learning all kinds of methods of investment. Those books, such as Investment in 21st Century as well as Advanced Investment Method, taught me good lessons about money, which I would certainly appreciate if I became a millionaire. Consequently, interest plays an essential role in learning everything, including how to manage money. Therefore, it is rational for some children to have access to money based on my experience. To put it into a nutshell, that all amounts to saying that children should learn something about managing money in order to become adults who are wise of using money. With enough interest as well as trust, it is much easier to send our children onto the right orbit. Teaching children a lesson about money is never a must; instead, it's a choice.
