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.

If you already have children, I am sure you will know how to educate children properly and also give them the things they need to learn at the appropriate age level. Because children who are still young around 7 years old or have just entered elementary school do not need to think about finances and also about financial learning because they will definitely have their own time and period in caring about it later. So I also agree more with your opinion on this one because children who are just growing up should still be allowed to play and get to know their own world slowly without any coercion or restraint from their own parents

Because I once found a child who committed suicide because he was too restrained by his parents to learn something he didn't like so that the child was unable to contain the stress in his mind which caused a disaster for the child. So as parents, of course we all have to know about the time or period for the child to accept something heavier, both in learning and in playing and in introducing him to responsibility in life. Because not everything has to be taught early on if our children still have more time to understand other important things in the future.
