Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[Latviand]

Every thing has a certain age limit. It would not be good at all for children to like Bitcoin and should not be forced to invest. A child can never have real knowledge about Bitcoin.There are very few people in today's world who do not know about Bitcoin.  So in future even children will know about Bitcoin when they grow up. We can now give them a basic idea of ​​Bitcoin but never force them to acquire it. I think it would be really dangerous for children.

The age doesn't matter, the child should be able to choose what he/she wants to learn, remember that they're individuals that will grow and will have an increased capacity in thinking as they grow older, a lot of people in this forum that's professing that we should teach our kids about bitcoin and investment without considering how the children will feel about the subject matter, I am not a parent yet but I think that we should never think of our children as our clones, why force them on something just because they show a bit of interest and we know that that interest will be gone the next moment, we focus too much on making bitcoin a staple in creating a family that we forgot the essential which is spending time with your children doing meaningful things.

I don't have kids so I don't know exactly what to do about teaching kids about Bitcoin.
In recent days there has been a thread about how he found a group of kids painting the Bitcoin logo as taught by his father.

But I have an argument about what parents should do with their children in managing their future.
Parents need to see where the talent of a child is going during his growth and development.
Children's talents will be seen from daily interactions as long as we are willing to take the time to monitor.

A father teaching and introducing Bitcoin is good, but it's better for a father to accompany what is his expertise. Like the story of friendship played in the movie "3 idiots".

parents knows about the children very well but parents will decide to do is and cant do this  to force the children and cross the limits , the cant be safe here after and they future can be bright due to bitcoin and also they a own reason so cant do any thing and also in future life increase the goals and in old age they can be own responsible for his life .

I think children gradually grow up with the education they are taught when they are young. If a child is taught various knowledge concepts about Bitcoin from a young age, he will grow up to acquire special skills about Bitcoin. However, there are many parents who discuss this topic from a young age to introduce their children to cryptocurrency. And as those children grow up, they become more interested in investing. I think it's best not to teach children about Bitcoin at a young age, because it's more important for them to focus on their studies at this time. Children need a minimum age if they want to learn about Bitcoin. and they will be related to education as well as cryptocurrency so if they can continue then they will do well in future. and never force a child to learn about Bitcoin as they will become addicted to investing from a young age which will harm their future education.

Regarding Bitcoin for children, I think at this time it is not appropriate for us to teach, because they have to learn other things that are currently set in the government curriculum, if they have mastered it then a little bit about Bitcoin maybe we can explain so that they know that Bitcoin is one of the assets of the future, but this is only a glimpse so that they do not feel foreign to Bitcoin later, And there should be no element of coercion because this will be a burden for them, so there is a level and time for us to teach them about the crypto world especially Bitcoin.

[ringgo96]

In teaching children to master something that is beneficial to them is our obligation as parents, but we must live according to their growth period, and for the world of bitcoin I think it is still inappropriate because there are other things they must master and teach, but if they ask about bitcoin maybe a little explanation we have to give because bitcoin is indeed something they should know later, So never do we force them to learn about Bitcoin.

Children are of different ages. a child will not understand or want to understand if something is said or given to him about Bitcoin after his mental development. Because children always like to gain knowledge through their toys.  So if you want to teach a child about Bitcoin, you need to give him some Bitcoin related toys that will create an idea about Bitcoin and he will remember it so that he can use this idea in the future if its use ever comes up.  So forcing a child with information about Bitcoin will not, or cannot, do any good.

As a parent or a guardian it's not only you responsibility to provide food, shelter, clothing and basic education for your wards but also to help them find their purpose or calling early in life. So exposing a kid at tender age to bitcoin education is not entirely a bad idea but if the child it not interested then you don't have to force it down his or her throat.

I've a little nephew that has an affinity for tech. I always encourage him and I also advice the parents to do same. I've some kiddo bitcoin videos I got from YouTube that I tend showing him when next I visit and I hope he can make the best of it.

Yes, if the child is not interested in the speech it is better not to force him but why do you think that only those who are interested in technology can understand Bitcoin?  I don't think that's exactly the case, because there's also a financial side, a social one, one that could be related to ecology.  I believe that if you find the right interpretation, you can gradually introduce Bitcoin to all ages, obviously you have to do it while having fun.

I think there should be no force. But we still need to teach our children what bitcoin is, because no one gonna teach them about it in school or uni.

And because bitcoin is the future, learning about it early will give your kids a big advantage in the future.

I think one of the good ways to teach kids what bitcoin is, is to give them some. When you gift your kid some BTC, he will see it "growing up" with him and getting more expensive. It will be a great lesson for the kid.

You have a point. We should still educate them about bitcoin so that if they wish to engage in bitcoin in the future, at least they have prior knowledge on it compared to completely unaware about bitcoin and how it can be beneficial for all of us. After all, the interest and passion of people may change from time to time. If today they won’t be fanatic on it, but once they will realize how valuable it is, then surely there will be a change of heart in the future. So teaching them today could give them them good preparation on managing their finances in the future.

The world is changing and things are upgrade, like wise the way technology are taken over, as a father in the house, as long you're children has reached a age of operating phone or laptop, as well is good to introduce them about Bitcoin how it works and make used of it, by convert to the local currency, because Bitcoin is a digital currency, and is good for a father to introduce Bitcoin to the children, which is a very Big previlage to have a father that is into cryptocurrency business and is very proud to introduce Bitcoin to children.

[Vaculin]

True. Forcing your children will not help them at all. But even so, it’s a good thing that they gained knowledge and information about bitcoin because we all know that it could give them a brighter future. However, don’t expect that everything you teach about them will be completely absorbed. They might be facing struggles in life and continue not to love bitcoin, but the good thing is they will also learn from all their mistakes and sacrifices, until they’ll come to realize that it’s time for them to take advantage on every bitcoin opportunity that comes.

[ChiBitCTy]

I mean you don't really define what being a "child" means to you.  What ages are we talking about here? Yeah I'm probably not going to try and be teaching my 3 year old about how bitcoin works, but once my child got older, and was at the age to be able to learn and understand how money and basic finances work, I would see no problem forcing your kids to learn.  Hell most of school across our lives is forced learning, might as well teach something that you can actually use in the real world.

Yes, i agree with you. Childhood times is the seed time of life. No one should waste their valuable time to learn about bitcoin. If a children know about bitcoin in the early age, its can damage his future and  dream. Also if a children know about bitcoin , he/she can invest their, which has addicted himself/herself for more invest..Its also waste of time and not only kill their future but also kill their dream too. Its harmful for a children career and  effect go through a family and a nation.
So parents shouln't force and encourage thier children to learn about bitcoin. This time they need concentrate to their studies and bright their future.

Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.

Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.

I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.

I know you are very worried about forcing parents' thoughts on their children regarding early education about Bitcoin. I also don't like it when I see children being exploited by their parents' principles to the point where they feel uncomfortable. Of course we can't force it if our children don't want or are not interested in Bitcoin at all.
however, how to educate children is the prerogative and responsibility of their parents. Every parent must have their own way of educating their child.
In my opinion, the right age to introduce them to Bitcoin is when they are teenagers, but again, every parent has their own expectations and knows better how to educate their children, right?.  for risk issues in terms of educating children there will always be and that is the responsibility of their respective parents.

Children should not be forced to choose a life goal by their parents, and Bitcoin is just one of those investment opportunities in the world today, we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

If they have no interest, then don't force them, let them follow their own path. As parents, we can easily believe that we know what is best for our children, but most of the time we are wrong.

There are some kids who are blessed with different talents, and their parents need to support them while they demonstrate their skills to the world.

Do not kill your children's dreams because you believe you know what's best for them.

Introducing children to the changing global financial landscape and the concept of Bitcoin can really be valuable, as it helps them understand the evolving digital economy. Determining the appropriate age to introduce such topics can vary depending on a child's maturity, ability to understand complex concepts, and prior knowledge of finance. While 15 years old can be considered a good starting point for introducing children to Bitcoin, it is important to evaluate each child individually. Some children may be ready to grasp concepts earlier, while others may need more time. It is essential to consider their level of interest, cognitive ability, and willingness to handle financial and investment discussions.

I believe parents who teach their kids about bitcoin are already aware of the capabilities of the digital currency. Furthermore, since kids in the 21st century are generally intelligent and capable of handling any mental task, It's not a bad idea, in my opinion, for parents to teach their children about bitcoin. The youngsters should be aware of how to utilize bitcoin because we are in the future and looking at nations that are accepting it.

The problem of choosing a course for a child is a common one, and it's very different from the problem of learning bitcoin, they can also learn stuffs like blockchain and many more. The problem is that, for me personally, I don't buy the idea of forcing a child to study a course it's a free world, and Everyone has the freedom to pursue any course of study. And finally, if I ever have children, and they reach a certain age, I'll show them that bitcoin can be entertaining in some way.

it is undeniable that the development of many people's knowledge of bitcoin is very fast and continues to roll because all of this is also due to technological advances that never subside with the progress of social media. Indeed, introducing children to bitcoin at this time will be easier with these technological advances, but it must also be interspersed with their liking for games so that they can be inserted. It must be remembered that there are those who are able to immediately absorb what is informed, but there are also those who find it difficult and not a few who may not want to know about it, so the role of parents to be able to explain is imperative so that they want to understand the importance of knowledge about this as early as possible. agree that if possible, it has already been determined when a child can be given information, by seeing and feeling whether they can really understand it, because each child's character will be different from one another and don't get used to putting pressure on because it is certain that they will have antipathy with what we want to go for. In principle, introducing earlier would be more beneficial than delaying until the time to be determined, because delay is not the best thing

Global financial and the Bitcoin concept aren't proper topics for Children. Children only learn simple things, those topics are too complicated for them. I think we only tell them something general about Bitcoin if we really want to share the information with them. Maybe we can show them the picture or tell them that Bitcoin is one of the digital currencies. For further information, we can tell them after they are mature enough, sure it should be above 15 years old. We must adjust the topic to share with them, don't force sharing too complicated information.


Note that the age of children is around 1-12 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development

Learning will not takes place once the children do not show interest to learn. So even if we keep teaching them about bitcoin and how it will be an asset in our future, once the children have no passion about bitcoin, then all our efforts will come into waste. However, always know that children are still having brain development so there will always be a change of heart and mind once they reach a mature age. And maybe by that time they will come to understand the real value of bitcoin and would want to eagerly learn bitcoin by then. So if we can teach them at a young age so they can gain prior learning and overview about it, then maybe it could also help them in the future.
