i dont think if child must to know about btc. maybe in future btc will be internet payment but teach about that to our child wasn't good. Wait until our child grow up until 14-17 years old and tell to them about btc. There was my opinion..

My daughter is 26 and watched me tinker with mining for years. The only thing that she was ever interested in knowing was that if I buy her a card from Gyft she can exchange it for Riot points (or however the he...ck you spell that). She sent me a physical Dogecoin last year for Mother's day :-).
I give the older kids things like bitcoin and precious metals (also.. pocket knives when they're old enough).
One of my nephews is interested in economics so I gave him a framed Zimbabwe Trillion Dollar note with a Dollar bill/ silver dollar framed in front; and 1/10th of a bitcoin in a paper wallet on back. That was several years ago and he still has them all.
Most of the other ones have spent them.
They figure out what to do with those things.
If they know where to spend it, they will find the value in it. If they learn the value in them...they may just keep them ;-)

Well you are giving them a option to save, and search a bit more about bitcoin, in others hands you are give them freedom to choose what they wanna to do with their money, i dont know how to teacth such at home childs are young yet, but they care their money already.

Well it is not difficult to explain teenagers about bitcoin. All the teenagers knows the currency and there use, just you have to tell them about bitcoin that it is a crypto-currrency and how it is used and how it works. You can find many of the youtube videos to explain them about this easily. And keep the children out of this topic as they don't even know about the currency. 
Teenager are more active nowadays so it will not be difficult because bitcoin is all about the internet and they can easily google all the information they need to know.

Young people get even smarter than adults. The fact that young people today grow up very quickly and have enough interesting things on the fly. And so with cryptocurrency too, is the case. Perhaps we can not worry about that young people will be without knowledge.
Yeah and I think they can grab things very easily and can learn it very quickly in compare to the older people but I still feel that they should be introduced to bitcoin only after certain level of age.
teen easier to get an explanation of bitcoin. even today almost every teenager I know often easy to accept all things related to technology.

Explain Bitcoin to teenagers is actually not that hard, because teenagers always curious about things. Whenever you trigger them with a new interesting information, then they will try to learn it more.
But for children under 13, maybe it's even harder to do it. But you can actually do it with the game method, where you can put some of an explanation to the game that they play.

Teenagers and children these days are pretty good with technology. If they really want to learn about Bitcoin, they can look it up for themselves and learn about it. There are so many websites that explain Bitcoin.
And it is easier for them to understand digital currencies and concepts because they belong to that generation. Some kids even have more knowledge on the internet than their parents. With this, it would be much easier for them to get the meaning of bitcoin and how it can be used for daily living.Well i guess no need to explain about bitcoins to teenager or children because when they see bitcoins at many place they will get interested in it that what is this? and the will themselves google it and starts learning about it. Like me i never learnt about bitcoin from anyone.
Every person is different in my opinion. Bitcoin telling myself to my brother, and he told what it was and he was not interested in knowing bitcoin. It would be very easy if someone is interested in bitcoin would be very easy to explain. But your will be very difficult if one is not interested because of how hard we explain if they are not interested we could not force him. The most important thing about bitcoin explain just what it is, if they are interested explain further.Exactly we cannot force them to take part in bitcoin and its activities unless they wants to and they will only take interest in bitcoins when they see it occasionally and more often. After that they will ask 2nd person about bitcoins or maybe the will search about it on wiki or google.

might be true, but they could make mistakes, since they learn on they own and nobody is perfect right from the start. but i guess it's not to bad as they should only handle small sums and if they get scammed it will be a valuable lesson that was not to expensive.

Yeah they are pretty good in technology but I guess its hard to divert their attention in earning money(btc). They are addicted in games and social media. Since they are still a children earning money is not yet in their mind. Its not their focus and they can just ask it in their parents if they need too.Well it depends to a teenager if he/she wants some adventure and you are right this age of kids would somehow likes adventure and likes to discover new things even if they are fully independent on their parents regarding on their money and needs but still they would like to earn their own money came from their hardwork.

I would have left out that estimate that you've made, saying that 98% of the children and young adults in your country don't know about Bitcoin.
You haven't even said which country you are from, let alone provide a source for that.
Children and teenagers should have no problem using Bitcoin, they are usually a lot more in tune with current technology than the older generations and if they ever need to use Bitcoin for something, most of them will learn how to use it quite easily.
It's not rocket science, sending payments is quite easy and you don't have to know about all the technology aspects behind Bitcoin to be able to use it.

Since they are still a children earning money is not yet in their mind. Its not their focus and they can just ask it in their parents if they need too.But most of them, from my experience, would like to get it now. I've been talking to a few of them about bitcoin, gave them wallet suggestions, what to do and what not to do, how it works and a link to this forum. After a few days, I ask them how it's going and they're replying "too slow, I can't be bothering with it", so yeah....
