Financial Literacy comics for your Children

June 30, 2010 · 15 comments

How do you teach Children about different concepts of Banking , earning money , Loans from Bank , Interest earned on money , Investing Vs Saving and other concepts and at the same time make it fun and time pass for them ? Reserve bank of India has some excellent comics which are very educational/informative and at the same time fun for little children , They give very foundation to your children and teaches them fundamental and internal rules about currency , Banking concepts , Interest on deposits and loans and some very good life lessons like Hard work , not cheating anyone etc . I would say you should also read these comics , I personally gained a lot of information from reading these comics and came to know lot of things which we never know :) . Read all of them in Full Page view .

I totally agree and i would say parents need it more then kids,now a days kids are smarter then parents :D and i’ve read these comics a year ago,i would say these comics added a lot to my financial knowledge as i knew very little about the finance world at that time and there are many basic things in these comics that most of the people don’t know,so these comics are must read for everyone.

What I bought for my kids was lovely book on investing and business by Yogesh Chabria called Happionaire’s Money Game. Published by CNBC.

Please read it and review it. It really is inspiring and helpful for kids in today’s materialistic world.
