How to Raise Money Smart Kids | Financial Literacy for Children

How do we raise financially confident children in a world where the cost of living keeps rising and owning a home feels increasingly out of reach? In this episode of The Parenting Collective Podcast, host Donna Moala sits down with Brooke Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of ‪@sharesiesau‬ to explore how parents can teach kids about money, build healthy financial habits, and create opportunities for their family's future. In this conversation, we explore: How to teach children about money, saving, spending and investing from an early age. Why raising financially confident kids starts with everyday family conversations. How pocket money, chores and part-time jobs can help children understand the value of money. Simple ways to start investing and build wealth over time, even with small amounts. The power of compound growth and why starting early matters. How to talk about money without passing on fear, guilt or financial stress. How parents can raise financially independent children while teaching resilience, responsibility and a healthy relationship with money. Brooke shares her journey with Sharesies, whose vision is to create financial empowerment for people and companies through its wealth app and technology. We discuss how accessible investing can help families take small steps towards their financial goals and consider new ways to build wealth for themselves and their children. Because teaching kids about money isn't just about dollars and cents. It's about helping them develop confidence, independence and the skills to navigate their financial future. 🎙️ Watch for more conversations about conscious parenting, child development, family wellbeing and raising confident, resilient children on The Parenting Collective Podcast. 👍 If you found this episode helpful, please like this video, subscribe to the channel and share it with a parent who would love to feel more confident talking about money with their kids.
