We should know as parents that we have a great role to play in the future of our children that is why we should also be a good role models to them and how we are going to do that is through making all aspects of our life's to be worth emulating so that our children can grow up and some of these attributes will be found on them because the environment that a child grows up matters a lot in the development process of any child
As parents, we must realize that children learn first from their parents. Children who are in their golden age often see and imitate what their parents do. I agree that there are some things that are genetically inherited such as character and emotions. But for things like financial literacy, a child will learn from the environment in which he lives and his parents are his first teachers. I often see parents who are wasteful and do not have good financial management will make their children wasteful too. And it's funny when they complain why their children don't learn to manage their finances well. On the other hand, if parents have taught or at least shown how they manage their finances, then the child will also grow up with good financial abilities.
