Are Your Kids Aware Of Bitcoin? Teach Them.

[Uruhara]

I would think that any parent would want to attempt to teach values in terms of how some forms of money are better than others (or potentially hold their value better than other, and that there are not any guarantees regarding these kinds of relative value assessment matters and how they are nearly inevitable to change with the passage of time), or that certain ways of investing time, money and energies are better than others..and there are ways to invest too that do not necessarily involve balls to the wall plays that rise to the level of gambling and that likely incremental investing and risk management are important skills to attempt to hone..

But on the other hand, looking at this condition, it seems that not all of them are like that because sometimes there are still many parents who really don't really care about things like that by freeing their children for what they are doing and this could be wrong.
See some of the cases that have occurred as possible for example in this thread Parents And Their Children In Gambling where something like this can be a clear example that the saying "like father like son" is indeed true. When we want to make children good, we as parents must also be better first because parents can be a reflection for children later.
As long as we still can't control ourselves then I think it will also be very difficult to teach our children considering we also can't be consistent.
teaching bitcoin from an early age to delicious is really a very good thing to do but on the other hand things like this must also be accompanied by the intentions of the parents there because if you only teach children about bitcoin but parents are still not serious and always do unnecessary things with shitcoin or some of the hype projects, this will not run smoothly because every action taken by parents will clearly be emulated by children.

Exactly as you said that we as parents must first understand correctly what will be taught to our children. Being a good role model is not an easy matter. But that's what parents have to do so that their children can be good people too.

Not rushing to teach bitcoin to our children is something that needs to be emphasized. prepare ourselves first. if we already have enough knowledge then teaching and giving examples to our children will be an easy thing.

of course we as parents also have to think about the ideal age for our children whether their age is ready to accept teaching about bitcoin or not.

i understand how excited parents can be to share knowledge about bitcoin. because we know that knowledge about the digital world will be very helpful for our children later. But maybe we as parents should be prepared in advance to study it more maturely. before teaching it.
because every parent would want to be a good role model for their children. and everyone would think about the future of their children.

I wish Bitcoin was taught to kids in schools

This depends where you live. When you live in El Salvador or in some American cities like New York that now has crypto and blockchain into the school curriculum it is still possible to happen, but for others it is a bit difficult.
The reason is simple, in some countries bitcoin is still a bit of a taboo for children to learn and there may even be bans for all residents in a country so that when regulations like this are still in place it is clear that it will not be possible to implement something like this in schools.

The point in this case all returns to the nature of the parents themselves because when we expect something good for their child, of course we have to reflect that way so that the child can focus on the goal to be better.
When we talk about bitcoin, I quite agree with what you said, we don't need to rush for it if indeed we still can't be fully in bitcoin.
Because indeed when we ourselves are still a little difficult, it is clear that the teaching that is done to children will also be disrupted.
We have to really understand from the start what bitcoin is for and how it works before teaching it to other people, especially to our own children, because when we are wrong, what we teach can also be wrong.

   I have a son who is currently 2 years old so far, but he has already planned with me that at the age of 9 years old, I will gradually teach him about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency from its usages and features. Little by little if he is made to understand its importance that can help anyone.

I will slowly familiarize him with how it is used (bitcoin) so that he turn high school, At least He have a deep and broad knowledge about this matter. That's my plan for my son. I won't force him to understand it right away but I will just show him how it helps our family life.

He is 2 years old not like he knows what btc is about so how can he agree with you to learn about it at 9 years old? I think you are probably teaching him about btc too early in life. That is not going to better him immediately you should be preparing him for high school as much as you can at that time and not about a currency which is not even adopted most player yet and will not be.

Better not to stress out yourself on what age because you would really be just find into yourself on whats the right time and you would see for yourself if your child is ready on learning those information.
Teach them when the time is right or age because if you do teach them too early then it would be useless because they cant just be able to learn and realize on what are the things you've been saying.
12-15 might be the sweet spot or earlier depending on how the child is really that interested on learning new things or love to explore.This is why it would really vary but
as much as early then it would be more better.

I wish Bitcoin was taught to kids in schools

I believe that time would still come where Bitcoin would be taught in schools and children will have the opportunity to learn about Bitcoin and how it works. This is a gradual process since more people have started knowing about Bitcoin and a time will come when the government would no longer have the interest of relinquishing people from buying and holding Bitcoin anymore.
That time things will be more easier for everyone and the Bitcoin market capitalization would increase making the cryptocurrency market more valuable and learning about Bitcoin would be a target from the society.

 I don't likes rushing things that is why Bitcoin was able to success since the year it was introduced to the world by Satoshi Nakamoto.

[Newlifebtc]

Children should be aware of Bitcoin at the when children is aware or bitcoin to make it the wisdom of Bitcoin or the knowledge of it going to be so fast into the child so I believe that anything that you are doing you supposed to have at least the knowledge of the thing from a childhood when you are a child and information is passed to you then you obtain the information you can develop more better than the person that acquired from the old age

I don't have the intention to teach my kids now because they are too young. I only teach them if they are interested in Bitcoin and they are mature enough in the future. Teaching kids too early about Bitcoin may ruin their dreams, kids must have their own dreams to achieve. I will let my kids have their own dreams, I won't force them to follow Bitcoin investment/trading. You are right that every successful people want successors, but I wouldn't burden my kids with it. The successors can be other people outside of our family parts, it is also good as long as they have a passion for Bitcoin.

I don't think with kids under 9 years old will understood about how Bitcoin transaction, there are not problem when teaching our kids as soon possible about Bitcoin but have looking on their age to be understand about how Bitcoin working. I have son and still under 2 years and I am waiting until he pass junior high school to learn and get education about Bitcoin.

No doubt how most important about Bitcoin actually when fiat increasing inflation in daily year and how much assets down without having good investing actually in Bitcoin, I will try to give education for my children and know effective way how to get advantage when investing in Bitcoin one day later.

For sure, I don't know exactly a right balance that can be struck within how much to teach about bitcoin or how much exposure that a kid might be getting from other sources, whether through school or other ways; however, it seems to me that the odds are quite high that the kid is going to be exposed to a lot of misinformation about the topic from a lot of different angles if parents do not attempt to guide the kid, and surely, we can make the claim that kids are exposed to all kinds of misinformation and disinformation, and parents do not necessarily have time and energy to learn about all of the current topics or even to spend time teaching kids or jumping through the hoops of homeschooling - even at the same time, there are benefits of having kids exposed to a lot of information and even misinformation so that s/he can sort through the information and come to conclusions that are going to help the kid function and hopefully be successful in the world in self-fulfilling kinds of ways.

You can ask.  What did you learn today?  what were the topics?  Maybe you don't have time to have that conversation everyday, but maybe once a week?  Catch up with what is going on... what topics are on the schedule and what kind of content is being taught.

[Reatim]

I don't force my kids to learn about cryptocurrencies. I will tell them some interesting facts about cryptocurrencies, and if they are interested, I will continue to teach them. But some of the kids around me now know about cryptocurrencies. The same goes for my kids, they also know more or less about cryptocurrency. Because I also have some assets in cryptocurrency, and in the end it is all wealth to be left to the children.

you don't need to force your kids mate but at least do your best to let them learn and understand crypto , this maybe not only for them but also for you to have someone to inherit your funds in safe place when there is something happened in the future , also for their future as we knew Bitcoin is the future currency and everyone must learn and use this may not now but at least for their life.

I also intend to teach my children about crypto when they are old enough to understand it, but I certainly won't force them to necessarily follow the path I have chosen. Bitcoin is an excellent way to get us to financial freedom, but it is not the only way to achieve financial freedom. We have many other options, and as long as they choose the path that is right for them, that's a success. Our parents don't force us, and we shouldn't force our children either.

well that's our difference mate because I tend teaching them while they are young , little by little till time reached their mind with proper understanding , I want their mind and thoughts be ready for crypto as this is their future currency.
and also they are the one who will succeed my assets here so better they learn it the long way with complete knowledge.

Although I am not married yet but I will definitely guide my children about cryptocurrency like bitcoin, I will guide them how it work, what is the basic of Bitcoin and too much more. because with time to time due to inflation every fait is devaluation every month and every year even dollar and Euro too , so the best choose to use Bitcoin instead of fait in order to safe himself from devaluation our assets.

All fiats includes dollars and euros, it's all the same and not just because they are considered superior to other fiats. Anyway, back to the topic, I'm not married as well but I think even if we don't teach our child/children with bitcoin and cryptocurrency, they will still learn it whether they want or not. Why? Their time or era is totally different compared to us, and maybe someday, bitcoin basics will be taught in middle school.

it is , they will learn this eventually and let us not make it hard for them if we can teach them the early time.

No one is forcing you to teach them when they are young, teach them about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies when they are adults. Teaching them new things can't be called forcing, teach them about bitcoin, but if they don't like it, let them choose what they want. Coercion won't make them successful with bitcoin, and we have many other paths to success.

My children are very young, and I intend to teach them about bitcoin but when they are 10 years old or maybe older. Our parents have never forced us into anything, so there's no reason we should force them.

[LEbimb]

I think young people are more sensitive to new things. When children grow up and have the idea of ​​making money, we don’t need to say too much, and they may know more about these new things than we do.

When someone is a minor they don't have the ability to think well and make a potential decision so it's best not to force Bitcoin on them at this time.  They should only impose these things when a person is an adult and capable of making good decisions for himself. So I don't think I should introduce my child to Bitcoin when he is still a child. But in this case it is better to educate your wife about Bitcoin and about different wallets because if someone dies unfortunately then his wife can access his wallet.  And you can enjoy the assets left behind

I wish Bitcoin was taught to kids in schools

not necessary , applied and learned in school . if for socialization it's good a basic introduction to what is cryptocurrency and the types of coins that provide benefits and perform well as well as the benefits and risks that will be accepted when entering the crypto world

My parents did not teach me what cryptocurrencies are, they only care that I go to school and get knowledge there. I also never had any prohibitions, I could do whatever I want (of course, within reason). But I would not mind if I was told about bitcoin earlier and explained its advantages. It would save a lot of my time and save me from so many mistakes, but nothing happens for nothing, thanks to these mistakes I learned a lot.

[cydrix]

I will definitely teach my kids the basics of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology but I won't force them to follow my path but just let them decide for themselves when they are old enough and aware of everything. Entering the market is a good thing as most parents want their children to take over their business, but apart from crypto there are many jobs that can earn more so they relax and should respect their decision.

That's a good strategy. It is crucial to provide children with the information and resources they need to make educated decisions, but they should ultimately be allowed to pick their own path in life. Encouraging children to learn about various businesses and vocations can assist them in discovering their passions and making educated decisions. It is critical to support and accept their decisions, regardless of whether they align with your own.

You are correct mate.My top priority is for my family to ride along with what ever brings gigantic profits to the family and bitcoin have become of the top things that have put food on the table for such a long time. It's very recalcitrant to denied my kids the knowledge about the project which have change millions lives out there. Bitcoin have remain one of the top memories I've worked so hard to impact   on my kids because it's one of the good news to bring the family. This is a modern era with computerize brains, everyone working out their way to earned profits in the space.

[Oneandpure]

My children still under two years and I don't think he has realize and understood about Bitcoin, I will push and teach my children later when he has understand about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investment. Push or teach or children before their age will have bad impact with mentality later and I don't hurry up for teaching my children before reach age possibility accepted to understand about Bitcoin.

I want to know with some people experience with their children, how old age of your children teaching Bitcoin? are junior high school are the best moment for teaching our children about bitcoin or waiting until he grows up and pass senior high school for teaching about Bitcoin.

[peter0425]

May I ask how early? Surely, you don't mean that you will start teaching your children in their primary years because that would be futile as it will sound gibberish to them. Besides, in their generation, surely they will know bitcoin at an early age as it's becoming known already and it's hard not to see it on the internet and make them curious what is it. Just let them do what they want, our role is to be their guide.

I think it is not practical to make them do such in so early stage but familiarization must come in that early , at least bitcoin logo to be drawn without any question or explanation just a plain act for familiarity .

their mind might be fresh but to have it started is something not that bad actually.

If Only I would have another child? then for sure in Her young age at least learnign alphabet ? I will Use Bitcoin Logo instead of Letter B so She will have Idea what it is.

The roles of Parents are to guide their Children in the right direction not taking decision for them, parents do this by giving them the right information at the right time when they need it, which means there is a particular age when you should start teaching them about Bitcoin as a Bitcoin enthusiast,  maybe from the age of 15 and above, that BTC could be a trending investment of the future.

So not necessarily that this children will buy the idea when they become of age, but you've done your part as a guider by giving them the information they might find useful in their future.
