Children are observant and understand that money is part of our everyday lives. Meanwhile, the way that we use money is continuously changing. Helping your child understand and value money from an early age will develop healthy habits around money, in order to manage it well as an adult.

The Money Heroes Parent Guide supports you in developing financial education at home, understanding the Young Money Primary Planning Frameworks and guiding you through the use of our range of fun and engaging resources. It also provides information around having conversations about money with your child and dealing with money worries.

Ed and Bunny’s money-raising efforts have helped their school do their bit for the environment and now the school will save money using their free energy. Their teacher, Mrs Fox, said that simple things could also help. This activity will help your child learn ways in which they can help their planet and how these simple things are closely linked to saving money at home. Giving your child the opportunity to make choices about how these savings might be used allows them to practice making important money decisions.
