My vision on teaching kids if following. Of course I wish that they would learn things I think are important. But I dont insist on, nor force my kid to learn new. I am not the kind of parent, that has a schedule for kids. Sort of Monday - swimming, Tuesday - drawing, Wednesday - music, Thursday - extra lessons of something and etc. I try not to spoil kids childhood with extra knowledge and activities. But I dont encourage laziness. I am more like an observer. If I see kid is interesting in something - I try to find activities that will improve and give more experience of object of his interest. If my kid would be interested in crypto or investing, I will help him with that. With finding info, maybe getting a teacher or a course. But not like "my kid must learn about crypto, because I think he will get rich/because we are on crypto forum/because crypto is future/because it is trendy".

As a parent I think the thoughts you convey are similar to what I also do with my children. Because I also prefer to observe what interests my child. and then I help the potential that he has.

If it's about Bitcoin then I think one day our children will know for themselves if Bitcoin really exists until our children grow up. I remember Hal Finney's words in one of his posts where he also has bitcoins that he saves for his children. and he seems like he doesn't teach his son much. but instead he believes his child will master it on his own because he sees the potential that his child has who also has an interest in things that are still related to his own interests.

this thread reminds me of one of the topics i made in the off topic section. relating to the phases of the child that we must obey. and we have to learn before deciding to teach our children something that is a bit complicated like finance and bitcoin.

As a parent, of course I want the best for my child's future. But we need to realize and understand that there are phases in the development of our children.

teaching financial management, Bitcoin and Crypto to our children is a great thing if it is taught at the right time or phase. and certainly not by coercion or pressure.

There are 4 important phases that we must know in children's education.

1. phase of play, freedom (live like a king).
This phase ranges from 0-6 years of age. and it is in this phase that the growth and development of the brain dominates. Emotions are also more studied in this phase. and in this phase we as parents have to praise and pamper children more lovingly. let children play and imagine freely. because this phase is an important phase in brain development and also an important phase in developing golden potential for children. things that need to be avoided in this phase are yelling at the child loudly, shocking the child is also strictly prohibited in this phase because it is fatal in inhibiting the neuron cells that are developing very rapidly in the child's brain and will make the child's potential become hampered or even extinguished or suppressed . so that when an adult the child will be very difficult to develop their own potential. what we can teach in this phase is to provide games that are interesting but contain educational and creative elements to stimulate the growth and development of children's intelligence.

2. Phase in the introduction of discipline and responsibility.
This phase is at the age of 7-14 years. So maybe it's at phass that we can start teaching children about money management. such as setting an example to children about saving. But it must be done slowly but consistently. We as parents must set a good example. and maybe a little hard on children at this age a little bit is allowed. because in this phase is the phase in the formation of our child's personality. so we have to really make children know a responsibility and discipline in life. and if we spoil children too much during this phase, it will actually make your child a child with a weak personality. in this phase also our children must be informed about what obligations they have to do. telling children about building a future and pursuing an ideal during this phase can be a motivation for them. and we tell them where the best places to save are. Introducing investment and crypto can also be started in this phase and of course at the level of basic knowledge.

3. The phase of building relationships with children (becoming friends for our children)
This phase is at the age of 15-21 years. well, in this phase we have to be more able to build relationships with children like friends. so that our children remain comfortable to talk to us. and the child keeps asking for solutions and discussing with us every time he gets a problem. and we must attach importance to rationality at this stage. we give advice like a friend as well as a parent. if we are too hard in this phase it will actually make our children close to us and even our children will prefer to confide in their friends rather than us. maybe in this phase we can introduce our children to our investments and all about crypto and bitcoin that we have learned so far. because of course at this age they will need this knowledge.

4. Phase of Freedom, Independence and trust.
In this phase our child is an adult and let him become an independent person and be able to solve his problems independently. But our advice is still needed for our children. be it moral advice, life or financial advice.
