Children absorb habits and beliefs from the world around them — and their first money lessons begin far earlier than we think.

About Daniel Britton

The idea that started everything.

The idea came to me while consulting in a primary school. I watched a financial education session for young children — full of good intentions, but it felt like an adult presentation delivered to the wrong audience. Facts instead of imagination. Information instead of stories.

Children don’t need another abstract lesson about money. They need stories and feelings they’ll remember. That single moment became the beginning of The Financial Fairy Tales.

“Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “A fool and his money are soon parted.”

Those sayings become part of us long before we’re old enough to question them. It wasn’t until my forties that I realised how many of my own beliefs about money had been inherited rather than chosen.

Research suggests our money habits begin forming in early childhood — and if that’s true, the greatest opportunity isn’t helping adults repair unhealthy beliefs. It’s helping children develop positive ones from the start. That’s the purpose behind every Financial Fairy Tale.

Janet Bray AttwoodNY Times bestselling author, ‘The Passion Test’

There have been all sorts of suggestions about what kind of financial education should be introduced. One of the most engaging — and unique — ones I’ve come across is a simple book, Dreams Can Come True.

Sarah EbnerThe Times

The Financial Fairy Tales series of stories have a wonderfully magical way of presenting children an opportunity to explore the make-believe world of fairy tales while gently weaving in real life-long lessons of making personally responsible financial decisions.

An important addition to any child’s library for it teaches about possibilities for him or her to live their dreams and how to do it. Any child will be inspired and motivated to share his or her talents and prosper.

My daughter absolutely loves these books! She now talks about saving, spending wisely and even starting her own little business. The stories are beautifully written and she asks for them again and again.
