What age did you learn about money and how has it shaped your relationship with it now? Research suggests that core money habits are often set by age 7, which means the conversations we have with children today could shape their entire financial future. So how do we make sure those conversations are happening in a way that's age appropriate, engaging and actually sticks?

In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Leon Ward from financial education charity, Money Ready. Leon breaks down the simple, practical and highly effective ways to get children engaged with money from an early age, helping to build the financial foundations that will shape their future. Plus, he explains why financial literacy is one of the most important gifts we can give a child, and why starting early makes all the difference.
