To many parents, the investing world is filled with so many terms and definitions that it can be a daunting task to engage a child without having him get lost in understanding the complex concepts and definitions. Most experts on educating children about investing believe the best approach is to keep the definitions simple, and spend only a short time on each concept so you can keep the child interested in the concept. Parents can also use real examples from their own financial experiences, since children identify and understand more easily when the topic relates to someone they know and love.
