Money confidence is a skill, not a lecture, and children pick it up best by handling real money in small amounts. These guides cover how much pocket money to give at each age in the UK, how to talk about money without making it awkward, and how to teach saving, spending and giving in a way that sticks. For older children there's pricing, profit and simple budgeting - the maths behind a bake sale or a first side hustle. Each guide includes age-by-age suggestions from 6 to 18, so you can start where your child is now rather than where a textbook says they should be. When it's time to practise, our free money tools let them price a product, plan a budget and see what they'd actually take home.
