What do you think about this course by a company called "Ambitious Investments"?
They seek to provide children with necessary knowledge in personal finance.
They call it Raising Financially Fit kids...

Dont know much about it... lakini am wary of some of these courses... First we need to see if the children of the trainers are financially smart! Ama they're just transfering knowledge garnered from books
Form is temporary, class is permanent

I dont think you need to take your kids for a personal finance course. All you need is to be financially responsible, to plan for yourself and plan for then and then act that way. Your kids will quickly pick up. If you draw a shopping list, and ask them to do the same; and then knock off a few items at the bottom of the list, they quickly learn and pick lessons from you, more than they would from a class.
The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim

I would say from my experience it makes for a very good business idea. Main proposition: "parents' hangup of feeling they're providing the best for their childen"

How sad that most successful children are often those who had nothing but...

Does anyone out there have any indication of how many parents actually take time to talk to their kids about matters of money and demonstrate by their actions prudent ways of managing finances? If so, please share. My experience was that no matters of personal finance was discussed with me while growing and on account of this, I got to learn a couple of things by way of trial and error thereby losing out on opportunities and even cash, which makes me think that the offer by the Ambitious group would be worth giving a thought. My penny's worth!

@ barry white, that is phatastically spot on. A saying goes, my father never taught me to walk, he walked first then i learned as i watched him walk.
Nature is very unforgiving, you mess with it, it strikes with impunity.

I think the classes are a good idea, coupled of course with financially sound parenting...
