Topic: Stop stressing kids with bitcoin (Read 1208 times)
Everyone is entitled to his opinion on this subject matter. If a parent find the need to bring his kids to the light of bitcoin at an early stage then there's nothing absolutely wrong on that. There could be a veritable reason as why such parents would decide to teach bitcoin to their kids and there's nothing stressing about that. If the next man doesn't feel my need to teach his kids about bitcoin same thing with nothing as whatsoever is wrong still. Like they say different strokes for different folks. The story of the book titled "the rich dad and poor dad", says so much about this subject matter.

During these days, you can't hardly tell. Zoomers would be so curious that the boomers would be shocked that their children had learned so much more than from them. There were boomers that definitely didn't use techy stuffs that much, though I am not surprised that they still knew about Bitcoin though considering that it was released in 2009 and that was like one heck of an internet memory.Children have way more curiosity these days now and don't be surprised as a parent that they knew more stuffs than you. They would be able to learn finance alternatively through Bitcoin.
We have different perspectives, on money wise its ideal to teach them how to manage their cash properly, not even starting with the money but the valuable things instead; while they are kids, they need to know the importance of the things they have; you can teach them with the items they are continually using and want to use to get the value of it so in the future once they have their own money they are not those kids keep spending money because they know they have sources can get from their parents. We didn't say they would teach those kids immediately; it takes step-by-step progress. Once they get it, now is the time they begin with bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies themselves. Don't you want your child to stand on themselves and not depend on your money?
This is the beauty of the Bitcointalk forum, differences of opinion between members are well accepted. Some members try to educate children to get to know Bitcoin faster than expected, of course this attitude is not a mistake because each individual has their own way of educating their children.
Trying to provide early education about Bitcoin to their children is done as a form of concern for the activities they do so that their children know what their parents are doing.
There are many ways that can be done to educate children about Bitcoin, as long as it doesn't put too much pressure on them to do what we expect, I think it's still considered normal. It should also be noted that children's responses when they are being taught, if they show curiosity by asking more questions than being silent, it means that they do not feel bored with the knowledge being taught.
Building a portfolio early on as an inheritance when they grow up is a good idea, it is also important to note that the private key must be stored properly and leave a will to the wife in case something happens to you.

As a parent, I have noticed, that even though I have a reputation, my kid listens more to what his friends and peers say. Not like the kid is doing what ever he wants, but possibly, if I say that it is time to learn about crypto, but friends say lets go play minecraft, minecraft will get more attention and importance.
Imo, the kids should know the importance of money, but at their age earning should not be their primary goal. They should first learn how to cope with fiat money and importance of it, then start to learn about cryptocurrency. Lets suppose the situation when Bitcoin never gets mass adoption, it is banned or it will disappear in lets say 20 years. So why teach kids about it.

For many people Bitcoin = money. They only see easy money in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Ok, I can accept that parents wants to teach their kids about money, but then why do they choose such complicated method as cryptocurrency and investment. Why dont they try something simple, as buying an apple and reselling it. Why go into deep waters as cryptocurrency.
Teaching kids about money and earning through Bitcoin is similar to teaching how to ride a bicycle by using track bicycle on a velodrome. Of course one day kid will understand how to ride it, but on the other hand he might hate to ride bicycles at all, because teaching would be hard and complicated.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what you've said, about simple understanding and simple practices that can give children their own charm. The true learning factor must be adjusted to the limits and ability of absorption where the age factor also determines. even if forced, it will not achieve what was previously planned. everything has its time and its time. My Assuming it might not be much different, when they are ready, then we will start teaching at least the basic concepts in the form of video animations or something else.
What is the appropriate kids age learn about bitcoin then? What should we teach and what practices should we give to our kids? For example my kid is almost 6. The only thing that my kid find interesting with connection to pc is gaming and recording game play video. Because kids that are older or teenagers do this. Ever seen teenagers interested in Bitcoin? I dont. And most important - why should parents teach kids things that they wont be able to use for next 5-10 years by themselves.
I agree. I think that one of the most important things that kids and teenagers should be taught is cyber security as soon as they start to use the internet, especially if they're able to spend money there. There are a lot of scammers and even more scary stuff that they might run into.

It's silly habit if anyone is doing this, if I have to teach Bitcoin to my kids, I will make sure they have some interest in things like coding and learning other tools online like HTML and Java, because such people must at least know what Bitcoin is, and it's their decision to get involve after, it's not something you can force on your kids, and age is very important too, make sure they are older enough to make decisions themselves, some parents like doing it wrong, when they want their children to be a lawyer, they start telling him ot her from very young age that 'I want you to become a lawyer' because we don't have a lawyer in our family.
Yes there are some people like this in today's world and I am aware of someone who grows up in a home where the parents are forceful.
The fact is some children came into the world with their own destiny that must be pursued by the help of the parent and teachers and if the same parents are the one forcing something else on the kids, the kids might give up and follow something they aren't destiny to become.

I think bitcoin should only be taught through educational system. What I mean is, a technical lesson should be included in the syllabus so that it can create technical base on their minds and thus in the future it would be their own decision whether to go for the bitcoin adoption or not. The lessons could be anything from Satoshi white paper, how blockchain operates, basic intro to how crypto space works and rest. This will ensure we are not stressing them but we are just giving them knowledge about different type of computing language. Nonetheless blockchain is not just limited to the crypto currency anymore but its application are wide spread in variety of sectors where enormous data is generated and that needs to be protected. So yeah we can do that without hampering them.
A well-designed course that deconstructs complicated subjects like the underlying technology, the ramifications of blockchain, and the decentralization tenet may be quite helpful. It will offer up new employment possibilities in blockchain development and data protection, as well as enable students to make educated judgments about investing in cryptocurrencies.Students may also discover blockchain's larger uses in industries like healthcare, supply chain, and finance since it goes far beyond Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In addition to respecting each person's unique preferences, this balanced approach gives them useful abilities they may use in the future.
I've seen several threads where people preach teaching bitcoin to kids and I've also seen threads where others talked about having some savings(investments) in bitcoin for their kids which is right.
Just as my topic reads, we should stop stressing kids with wanting them do things we didn't meet up doing and at some points getting them mentally stressed.
every one has own opinion, i appreciate your opinion. But i have another mind about it. we still introduce the kids without making them stess. just do it with some fun things.Just as my topic reads, we should stop stressing kids with wanting them do things we didn't meet up doing and at some points getting them mentally stressed.
Please don't get me wrong because I'm typically not against teaching or maybe introducing bitcoin to your kids but I'm on the opinion that rather than bother them with this complicated digital asset (bitcoin) knowing fully well that no matter how much knowledge we have about it, if we don't have the money to buy, then we'll certainly miss out, and judging from this, I don't think it's wise teaching them or wanting to force it on them when we know that they can't afford it.
We do not always have money first to be introduced to bitcoin. Not gonna lie, my first time i got introduced to bitcoin from my friend i was poor and do not have money to buy/invest into bitcoin.. so if we talk about wheter someone have money or not (including kids or adults) it is not a matter to be introduced to bitcoin.I will suggest that, rather than bore them with the history of bitcoin, why not get a portfolio for them and keep investing in it and watch it grow with them and when they're of age, then you can practically show them the needful.
I want to know if there are people who also share same opinion with me and please lets just discuss rather than argue

I can not opposite with this idea, Keep investing bitcoin and wacth it grow up or go down is interesting enough, but it does not mean i attenuate my opinion that i said before. people have their own opinion we just sharing each other.
I agree with you- teaching kids about a topic that is somehow complicated can make them further disinterested. Instead, let their curiosity spark and if ever they open a topic about cryptocurrencies, then that should be the sign where you should teach and educate them.
Shoving and forcing them to learn in this kind of space may only lead to failure and dissatisfaction. Just like any kind of learning, let the kids explore to themselves any topic that they deem interesting.
Though this may be the case, I am still in favour of reminding them or telling stories about cryptocurrencies. Avoid forcing them to learn but create an environment which can make them curious about this kind of space.

The advantages of educating children about Bitcoin are that they have a lot of potential because they don't have many thoughts in life, they do not carry the burden that parents do. In fact, they're just doing what makes them happy. Forcing them to learn Bitcoin is a bad idea because happy people learn better. That's why, if you do, your attempt to teach them will be ineffective. We have to wait until they are ready and our plans for them would succeed.
Absolutely, we need to give the children their freedom to choose where they want to go, what they want to decide, or where they want to invest when they grow up. Teaching them something complicated against their interests will surely hamper their mental stability. Yes, you can tell them about bitcoins or digital assets, but don’t tell them complicated things like how to trade, how to invest, etc. Children are meant to study and develop their mental and physical health. So yes, giving them unnecessary stress might hamper their natural growth.
You’re right mate. Children love to explore new in their eyes but that doesn’t mean that everything will be easily absorbed by them especially if those things are quite complicated for their age. Though bitcoin is good to be taught while it’s early, but teaching things like this into children, not only it will lost their interest but it will also trigger their learning development as an individual. That’s why we have to feed them things that they can easily comprehend, things that are align with their passion and interest, and I think teaching bitcoin is too complicated at their young age. 
We don't have to "force" anything to anyone.
Education is more of a gift. If you educate kids with Bitcoin included, it doesn't have to be a stress on the kids. It's just another subject just like many others!
And the cherry on top is that they will learn something really valuable for their future! I teach my kids a few things here and there. I never force them to do anything, but when I have the chance to teach them another little bit about Bitcoin, I surely do so!

I like the message!
There is so much unnecessary pressure that we put on the little ones without considering what they really want! Though some will appreciate the push to get the interest into crypto with the help of a guardian or parent!
But ideally trying to push the crypto message on the little ones is meant to help them prepare for the future as the digital age is here.

Children at that stage have a tender brain to accumulate information and process it. So it is not good to force them but there is a way you can still do to teach them. Children in nature you don't have to force them to be thought. But you pamper them and teach them if not nothing you will say to them will enter their brains. If you want to really teach children, then present a Cryptocurrency children videos to them and play it in the DVD player then with that they will focus on it and probably you explain to them from there.
Actually we have numerous of thread that is preaching or emphasizing impacting the knowledge of Bitcoin to kids, i have said this so many times of Bitcoin and children, we can only give our children what will benefit them it's not necessary that we shall all teach our children Bitcoin, we should our allow children to breath and make theirs own choice

I think of course every parent has concerns, especially when it comes to their child's future, because parents have an important role to direct their children.
And here maybe some parents think that bitcoin can provide opportunities for the success of their children. So they force their children to learn about bitcoin, causing the child to be stressed because they get mental pressure on their child and this will have a bad impact on the child if done.
What parents have to do is simply introduce what bitcoin is, if the child has an interest in bitcoin then learning can be continued gradually and the child will voluntarily learn it without having to be forced because they like it. If the child doesn't want to, don't force it because it will only make the situation worse and I'm sure every child has their own way of achieving success through the things they like.
So as a parent, stop forcing your child to follow your will. Let them find their own identity to achieve success.
Kids should never be forced to learn something. Initially discipline needs to be taught, then we need to observe them and understand the goodness in him. Kids need to be given their space, only then the kids will grow in a stress free manner. Making them understand something is good, but we should know whether it is necessary for now. Just on knowing bitcoin, the kids weren't gonna invest. Everything requires time, so that let them understand of their own at the right time.
