Going back to the topic of this impasse, I want to say that the child needs to be taught at school and not at home, taking his childhood from him. Only a school or already a higher education institution should teach Bitcoin to students. But the fact is that our teachers do not have this education. Therefore, before you teach children, you must first teach those who will be engaged with children studying Bitcoin.

You don't need these teachers at all and most of the time you'd have a shitty education system especially if you live in a third world country. Most countries are far behind from what the teachers know in other countries. They are far behind from the equipment and teaching methods.

As a matter of fact, a lot of things in life was never taught in school and most of these things are actually very useful for an adult. Paying taxes, how to get out of poverty, how to actually socialize, how to stop fidgeting, these stuffs might not sound easy to master or to study alone but these are some "real world" kind of lessons with real world applications which can only be learned with real world experience.

Kids ? We can give them introduction about bitcoin but they are still kids. When we say kids, it is 4 to 10 years old and by that age they just love to play with their friends or their gadgets and earning or joining forums maybe their are not interested. Yes, there are some matured "kids" especially those who came in other families that has a possibilities to get interested about bitcoin by just knowing that he/she can earn money through bitcoin.
to me i think they have still nothing to do to know about bitcoin.  although kids normally use fiat currency, but bitcoin is still not available to be use in local shops therefore, therefore they do not need to learn about bitcoin. to me when they will become grown up then they should learn about bitcoin how to use it.
but i think its important to reach kids about bitcoin because bitcoin is a new technology and they can use their bitcoin for online games and if if they know to use bitcoin so then kids will be never face any problem to purchaise any book or any games.

But it is expected that a time will come when everyone will deal in digital means and every thing will be available through digital means so for preparing your children for that age you have to teach them from the beginning about bitcoin and train them for its uses.
They can teach at that time but if someone will teach their kids from now then it will be better for them and for their kids as in that time their kids will be on the front line in the field of bitcoin and they will be more expert in its usage in the market.

to me  I think we can introduce bitcoin right now, so that they may have some idea about bitcoin, but practically to do not need to know about bitcoin how to use it. because we are currently using bitcoin for investment and trading purposes and mostly for gambling, and they do not have any concern with these three things. when they will grown up then they can start learning about bitcoin. and hope that at that time bitcoin will be more and more common and people will be using it for shopping online as well as in offline shops.

Kids these are so tech savvy they’re likely to discover Bitcoin on their own. But maybe expose them to it bit by bit. Make them aware of its existence and keep them interested by showing them that you can purchase things online without using cold hard cash. When they’re a bit older and grasp more concepts, teach them about finance and how money works. Or you can show them shows and videos that reference videos to show how it moving globally. Ease them into it and try not to bombard them with many info.

I don't it's a good idea to introduce bitcoin to children. They should do something that suit their age and have positive impact towards their development, not study about some crypto. And i think bitcoin is quite hard to understand for children.
but i think its not too hard to understand bitcoin to children because i personally know some children age of 13 who earn money  in bitcoin and live independent. they fullfill there educational fee and bit coin are very easy for him.

I totally agree with this guy. They are still kids they don't even know there math yet, what I mean about that is t hey still need to survive pre-school and elementary before they get use to money. Right now if you introduced money to kids it would be a bad introduction to them because they will get confused rather than learn something from it. For me we can start as early as grade 4 if we want to introduce to them about money first before even introducing Bitcoin.

I would say it's best to teach them the same way you teach them about money. Except for the bits about security. Cheesy
Kids are able to pick things up quickly anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard.
I agree if you want to teach kids about bitcoin you should always think and express to them bitcoin as a money because it has value and it has price so it is very important. And for me it will not be so hard to teach a kid about bitcoin because most the kids nowadays are technology inclined it means they can easily manage to adopt to a something that is spread by the internet or technology base. So for me as developed and grow they can also develop their knowledge about bitcoin and how they can earn more through it.

It is not a bad thing to make your children aware of the trends.  The bad thing would be forcing them to do stuff that can make them earn Bitcoin at their parents gain.  Kids should be aware of things and stuff that is happening, but let them have the freedom to chose on whatever they wanted to do. 
It's not a bad thing, but it also does not help children too much because kids need development space, we can not teach it anything about bitcoin, children need fun, entertainment and learning. Many adults to now still do not know about Bitcoin, so how the child can understand? we should let children self-study and find out, we just people who answer children's questions. Each child will have its own future and dreams, we should not influence and make their future move in the other direction

Well I think you just have to tell them that it is an internet money,
And tell them that it is just similar to saving money in the piggy bank,
But in this saving the money that they save could earn some profit.         

Its an online job, a technolgy or gaming approch job. Though it will be hard for them tounderstand in time they will know it for sure.

This article doesn't talk about bitcoin but it got me thinking how to get kinds interested in bitcoin within the context of appropriate money management lessons. Think of we could teach kinds about it. The growth, the adoption, the inflation and retraction. The allure of the "internet money".

...what other ideas come to mind?
I heard that there are some animated videos about bitcoins.We could show them those videos so that they could easily understand the concept of bitcoin.Since this generation is already familiar with technology,it would not be difficult for them to understand bitcoin.
Yeah, this generation kids were quite familiar with the technology. By the years when the kids grow up surely everything will be in the digital form, so starting to learn is a good decision. But this should be done on the kids own personal interest, one should never be forced because each children have different abilities.

It depends if your child wants to do ot, it will be a matter of acceptance if thy can underatand how it goes then let them but if not dont force them.

But its hard for kids to open their young mind to this kind of talks and works to do. But well, its all depends on their parents if they will do it or not. Just dont force them to do things that they dont really want. Just let them enjoy being kids, its once in a lifetime experience, we cant go back being a kid so let then be. When they grow, they can start to know about it. But for now, be happy that they are still kids.

Though most of the kids nowadays can are into with technology and can easily comprehend Bitcoin as long as you choose the right words that is by one by one introducing technical terms but the thing is with those kids who are relying to their parents for money that might just say nah since there parents give them money.

The tricky part really is how to make them interested so here you might start with stuffs they can buy without nagging there parents to give them some money since they already have it and much more than what there parents regularly give. The next thing would be patience since they need to take time to learn and earn a decent amount of money.

But if the kid don't want to learn despite your efforts then no need to force them -- just let them be. Let them do the things that really makes them happy since when they grow up they will experience hardships in life.
