Why Financial Literacy for Children Matters
The launch of Moneysaurus and Molly the Money Butterfly marks an important step in our Let’s Talk Money initiative, which focuses on normalising conversations around money and equipping individuals with tools to manage their finances and safeguard themselves.
Why start with children? Research shows that money habits begin forming as early as age seven. By introducing concepts like saving, sharing, and spending responsibly at an early age, we’re empowering children to develop positive financial habits that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Tackling Broader Financial Issues
The Let’s Talk Money initiative goes beyond children’s education. It also addresses critical issues such as:
- Financial coercion: Supporting women in identifying and escaping financial abuse.
- Elder financial abuse: Raising awareness and providing resources to protect vulnerable older adults.
- Fraud prevention: Educating individuals and families on how to safeguard their money.
Through awareness campaigns, resources, and events, we’re committed to building financial resilience for all members of our community.
The Partnership Behind the Book
This book is a result of a unique partnership between the SheInspires Foundation and Mini Minds Matter, a social enterprise in Bolton dedicated to creating innovative educational resources. Together, we aim to ensure financial literacy becomes an integral part of early education, helping children build skills they’ll carry into adulthood.
Moneysaurus and Molly the Money Butterfly is the first in a planned series of four books that will teach children about money in fun, engaging ways.
