I would oppose the idea of children as young as 7 years old taking finance courses or financial bootcamps like your idea. In my country, 7-year-old children have not yet finished first grade. Is it too much to force a child who has not yet mastered basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to know about finances? Why can't we give them a beautiful childhood? And what will ensure that forcing children to learn about finances early will help them become rich people later?

I am not against the idea of teaching finance to children, but I think it is not necessary to teach it too early when children have not even finished first grade.

Agree with you. Sometimes parents' fear will bring disaster to children, I mean they will experience stress if they are forced too much with our will. Age 7 is still too early to be taught about financial literacy, they still have their own world with their own pleasures, especially if they are still in grade 1.

It is not wrong to teach financial literacy to children from an early age, but start from small things, do not immediately put them in a financial literacy training place because that is too excessive which will later have a negative impact on the child's growth and development because their parents are too obsessed with making their children smart in managing finances which makes them stressed.

Many parents are haunted by the current economic situation and the difficulty of finding money to survive these days, so they think forcing their children to understand finances as early as possible will be good for them. But that's not how we educate a wealthy generation or how we make a difference. Who can guarantee that if we educate our children about finance as early as possible, they will become rich or do we just follow our feelings?

Also, I wonder if OP and the people supporting this idea have children and have talked to them, and listened to them say what they want? Or is this just the thinking of people who don't have children, don't have experience and don't even know how to start raising children? We should not try to impose our thoughts on anyone, especially our children.
