Pretty much everywhere — and especially at home! Young children learn about money by what they see, hear and experience in the world around them. They primarily learn about money by watching their parents use and talk about it. They are also keenly aware of how their parents feel about money by watching facial expressions, listening to word choices and tone of voice.
If you think about it, money is part of most of our daily conversations. We consider what we need (or want), if we need (or want) it now, go through the process of buying it or deciding to do it another day, embrace or bemoan a prior choice, plan for tomorrow, etc. As a consequence of the ever-present money conversations happening at home, kids are exposed to the ongoing successes, struggles and the unending money decisions of every day life.
