Teaching kids about money is vital to their well-being. An individual's level of financial literacy, education, and capability has far reaching consequences. It can impact their health, relationships, security, education, careers, opportunities, life-style, and philanthropic choices.

It is important children understand money’s various characteristics and learn to manage them capably to function effectively in life. It is also important that children’s financial education begin early. Here are three reasons why. One, a 2013 Cambridge University study revealed adult money habits are set by age seven. Two, a 2015 Gallup poll showed two out of three adults around the world are financially illiterate, including the United States. Three, advertising is a pervasive influence on children and its’ influence is growing through the Internet and mobile media devices.

So where should those interested in addressing the challenge start? We think it makes sense to begin with language and a warm, lovable friend and role model like Sammy Rabbit.
