A Research Based Approach to Kids Financial Learning

As technology reshapes daily life, kids are exposed to financial choices sooner than previous generations. Through digital spending, microtransactions, and kids apps, money is now part of everyday life. This makes early financial education essential, rather than waiting until teenage years. The purpose behind 4MQ is to ensure children grow up with strong money skills.

Why Early Money Education Matters

Children form lifelong financial habits early. Their approach to money forms during the primary years. As the national curriculum moves toward money competence, schools and families are preparing for new expectations. Families and educators need simpler guidance to make money learning natural. This is where 4MQ helps, bringing clear and effective learning to homes and schools.
