Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[Mahanton]

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.

There's always that perfect time on teaching things into your children on which it would really be just that right that you shouldn't really make them force to learn up something which its not really that something that they could be able to learnt up right away or something that they could easily absorbed on. We know that there are really children which is really that having that advanced thinking or easily understands on thing but
in general, lets just make them enjoy first their childhood and doesnt really make them get stressed just because you've been explaining to them on whats bitcoin or crypto is all about. Its not really that on the right age
if they are young, but its true that the earlier the better but as a parent then you wouldnt really be that so dumb on not to see on when is the right time on doing so. We could eventually tell if its
the right time on telling it to them because if you do explain to them too early then it would be useless because they would really be just simply be forgetting it and dont really mind about on what you do say.
Unlike when they are on the right age then it would really be that easy to understand on what they do talk about.

Having knowledge about Bitcoin at an early age is a very good idea, so it is a good idea if parents decide to teach their children about Bitcoin at an early age. But I don't think any parents will force their children to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not a professional course we study but it is a digital currency.even if children are forced to learn about Bitcoin at an early age, it is not something bad once it will not disturb their academics. In some cases, parents need to force their children to learn something they think will be a great benefit for them in the future.

Their Process learning about bitcoin may require more time and patience.  At least, as the parents, our effort to bring up the intention and interest to our children toward bitcoin is a importance key. We can combine between very basic knowledge of bitcoin and games that related with bitcoin.  from the game, they can know the bitcoin with fun.

In the process of learning new things in school some of these children learn new things by themselves from their colleagues just like if someone mentioned Bitcoin as a means of payment or an investment assets in their class those who are really interested in knowing more about Bitcoin will develop the interest naturally without forcing it on them while those who are not interested wouldn't bothered to know or learn about it, with the issue of forcefully teaching children about Bitcoin personally it amount to waste of effort and time because those children will pick interest in it when it's time to do so having seen how often we do things related to Bitcoin like payment transactions via our mobile phones and PC invariably they will pick interest in it.

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 never force my children to know, and know BTC from an early age, I'm sure one day they will find out for themselves because they always open the internet and one day they will come to me to ask what BTC is

I will let them play with their children's world , without interrupting things that they don't deserve to do and think because my child is still 9 years old

[isaac_clarke22]

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.

At least just make them aware. Parenting is indeed hard since you still have to let them decide for themselves instead of being that usual toxic parent wherein they force their ways and traditions to their offsprings, just like I mentioned previously in this thread which is commonly an Asian culture. In Western Culture, children tend to separate away from their parents after 18, correct me if I am wrong though.

You can still tell them about BTC, but don't force them if they don't want to adopt that kind of knowledge yet or if they aren't ready to learn such decentralized stuffs since usually the opposite is being taught at school

[lizarder]

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. 

Forget about age for a moment and we all agree that teaching bitcoin is the right step for preparing children when they grow up. Normally parents will know when teaching children in the world of finance by age and they are able to take responsibility for their decisions. Slightly forcing children to be better prepared in dealing with the financial system in the modernization era is important because people don't really have to work hard to make money, because the realm of technology has made it easier for anyone to seek financial gain.

If a single bitcoin can bring them wealth and can set up a business where many people can work, then why are we so worried, reluctant and skeptical to introduce bitcoin to kids. Ah never mind, people will also say we are not right and always want to win alone and force the children bla...bla...bla

Hell most of school across our lives is forced learning, might as well teach something that you can actually use in the real world.

Life is full of theory that is learned in formal schools and this will not educate children directly to practice it. I agree when children are taught anything related to bitcoin and of course when they are able to recognize money to go shopping with friends or girlfriends. But it seems people are worrying too much about bitcoin learning for kids, why? because they think the child will find a way by himself, even though if the parents are unable to direct it, it will not educate them to reach a more precise direction.

True.. Our children will not suffer as much as we did to learn about Bitcoin. Because the internet was not so readily available then. When I started learning about Bitcoin, my country didn't even have a proper 3G network. And now that the Internet has revolutionized so much in my country, I am sure that my children will learn about Bitcoin by themselves.So there is no need to force someone to learn about interesting things like Bitcoin, once they start knowing they will be attracted to it.

For me, it's okay to tell the children about Bitcoin in terms of what is Bitcoin and what to do with Bitcoin, that's the limit. If you tell them about how to earn Bitcoin and other advanced stuff about Bitcoin, then it's not the time yet for them to learn about that. I've seen about the deconstruct of teaching between children and elder, the description is really great and those teacher doesn't tell them anything more than what they are capable to learn for those children. I'd personally against teaching kids about Bitcoin in terms of trading and stuff, but for the definition and what to use is okay I guess.

True. Forcing people to like something backfires a lot in my experience. For example, should the daughter of a great singer also needs to be a singer? Maybe she wants to be an engineer... Maybe she will just hate singing... That shit always happens.  Just because we are so much into crypto don't mean our kids will like crypto too. Everybody in this life creates his/her own luck. No matter how much you tell people that they should invest in this, you should invest in that, they will never listen to you. They will do whatever they have in their minds.

That's the case many at times as, forced learning is always one born out of the lack of enthusiasm. Learning is easier when someone gets go build interest in the course or subject he or she is being introduced to.
Gor adults, it comes easy om how to introduce the concept of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to them but for kids, financial education becomes boring or uninteresting except when incentives follow up and its done using a very practical approach.

For the case of bitcoin education, its not an easy course to teach to children but then, an investment in there name with various wallets and a check on progress while showing it to them would build there interest in the currency.

[someone703]

When teaching children about Bitcoin, it is important to provide a balanced perspective and emphasize its potential benefits and risks. Forcing children to use Bitcoin or treating it as their only destiny would be misleading and inappropriate. Instead, the goal should be to educate children about technology, its potential applications, and the broader financial context in which it exists. This allows them to develop a holistic understanding and make informed decisions when they are ready. Promoting an open and unbiased approach, where children can explore different options and make their own choices, is key. It is important to respect their autonomy and personal interests rather than using persuasion tactics to convince them to use Bitcoin.

That is how it is in life. Destiny differs. So telling someone why he or she doesn't like to do is always a problem and end up with bad results. Children are very good in learning through listening at the tender age but even at that they have things to do in their mind. If you want to know ask them and they will tell you what they want to be in future probably they have seen such profession in someone close to them in the family. And if you allow them to do what is in their mind they do well in future.

We don't need to force children on cryptocurrency but we only need to enlighten them if they have interest. And here are a few things to consider regarding teaching children about bitcoin:

1. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy. Exposing children to financial technology and digital assets at a young age could give them an advantageous understanding as they grow up.

2. Teaching children how to manage and invest in assets responsibly from a young age could help develop important life skills and financial literacy. Kids who learn about savings, investing and wealth creation early on tend to make better financial decisions as adults.

3. If done properly and with parental supervision, learning about bitcoin can be a fun and engaging experience for children. They are often naturally curious about new technologies.

4. Parents should ultimately decide at what age and to what extent their children learn about bitcoin, based on their maturity level and interests. Forcing children to learn when they are not ready is likely to be counterproductive.

5. As with any financial topic, parents should teach children about the risks involved with bitcoin as well as the potential opportunities. Kids need a balanced understanding.

6. Responsible use of bitcoin for children means starting with small amounts and under parents' supervision and control of any funds or accounts. Kids should not have unrestricted access that could lead to losses.

So in summary, while forcing children to learn bitcoin is not a good approach, exposing them appropriately based on their maturity level and interests could have benefits. As with anything, moderation and common sense should guide parents' decisions.

The most important thing is that parents educate themselves sufficiently on bitcoin first, so they can teach their children responsibly. But don't feel pressure to force the topic if it's not a good fit for your family right now.

As long that they wont really get pressured on which this is the primary issue on why there are children who do end up on switching courses and careers or interest just because of their parents choice
but ending up on not being happy or contented because this isnt something that they do really wanted in the first place.This is why its never been that suggestable on forcing up your child on what
are the things that they would want to do because its true that they do have different skill sets and interest in life but explaining out those basic things then it wont be bad.

Simple explanations would might do but not something that you would be forcing them to deal with.We know that one they do have feel out on being forced then for sure they would just keeping on
getting far away from it and this is something that we dont really like to happen. This is why you should really be that mindful in regarding your plans on explaining it to them at younger age.
Yes, they could easily absorbed up things but always basing up into the minds if they do able to understand.

Agree. Never force them to learn something that they are not interested in them. Let the children explore their minds and it is their right to determine which things they want to learn. However, if we know they choose something bad, we must guide them to stay away from it. It is our responsibility to guide our children the right way or to something good in this life. Regarding Bitcoin, if our children aren't interested yet in Bitcoin, don't force them to learn Bitcoin. We just need to tell them what Bitcoin in general is, or we only show them the picture. I think this step is enough to let them know about Bitcoin only without forcing them to learn it.

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.

Sure. Children always grow both physically and mentally, their mindset may also change as they grow older. When they are getting older, they know more and experience many things. It is possible that one day they realize that Bitcoin is interesting to them. When they show their interest, we can start to give them the lesson. But if they don't show interest, don't force them to learn.

[serjent05]

In teaching children if it is an out-of-school knowledge, we should assess the interest of the kid we wanted to teach Bitcoin about.  If the kid shows interest then we can start telling them the basic.  we don't need to go deeper in tackling Bitcoin because it will be too much for the kid.  If needed we should represent the explanation in the simplest way so that they can understand the concept clearly.  We should also observe if they keep their interest, and if in case they have lost interest in learning Bitcoin then we must stop since it will only bring difficulties for the kids if we push the subject of learning Bitcoin to them.

Not a good way to teach Bitcoin for children because they're still very young and they use their life for playing and exploring what they like. Just teach them how to save money, privacy and security, just a basic of life. Then if they're interested in Bitcoin, just teach them about centralization and decentralization, if they're don't like decentralization, they let them pick their choice to rely on a centralization.

They will learn after the centralized site disappointed them e.g. bank bankrupt and they're need to follow a complicated steps to recover their money.

Maybe it depends on the parent who has a deep understanding of Bitcoin and how to make his child aware of Bitcoin. For example, I have a son turning 7 years old this year, at this age, I can familiarize him with using Bitcoin as a payment and encashing it into our fiat that I don't need to explain to him. I will only show familiarization, then when he reaches 8-10 years old, I will make him aware of how to use Bitcoin but the trading factor is not here yet.

I will do this to my son without affecting his growth as a child. Of course, he can enjoy being a child while I make him aware of the usage of Bitcoin in our life without force.

So basically you teaching your son with practice, it will better if you teach teory of bitcoin like transfer knowledge too. But some people will teach their son by theory about bitcoin including i as parent it will make our son interested with bitcoin. I will tell my son Bitcoin is the best asset for saving our money compared gold and fiat money and tell them for use ledger to save bitcoin from hacker so they will aware how to manage their asset with safe.

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've told it every time that Bitcoin is a complicated thing for children and to be honest for sure they don't really care about it sure they just know that saving is a good thing and that is what you're teaching them it is probably more accurate probably if they are already a teenager it's the right age to teach them what is bitcoin, But even children could wonder what really bitcoin is which is a good thing it will encourage them to get involved on the cryptocurrency space soon when they grow up since they might wonder what this bitcoin is. Learning when you're a child could be a good thing in the future because they have great practices and investing or saving can be a normal thing to them.

We see the bitcoin cartoon get popular if children would watched those clips they might have no idea what is bitcoin but it's a good start to condition them in the future, to invest, save etc.
