Talking Cents podcast

Sometimes old things cost more money than new things. Why? Noah and Liz explore the question.

The first banks originated thousands of years ago. They've evolved a lot since then but Liz and Noah talk about why they were created and their use.

Liz and Noah explore the idea of shopping at charity shops and what the objective of those shops are.

You wouldn't think it but learning about growing your own fruit & vegetables is one of the most beneficial things a child can learn, teaching them about all sorts of financial concepts - risk, reward, time etc. The added benefit is that growing is fun!

We talk about pets and whether they cost money. We also explore the different types of pets there are and Noah shows us what a scared stick insect looks like :)

One of the biggest problems kids find understanding money is that they don't realise that a debit card is linked to your bank account. Liz and Noah talk about ways you can pay for things at the shops

What did people do before there was money? Liz and Noah explore the 'olden days' and what options were available.

More and more children are expressing an interest in entrepreneurial ideas than ever before, and with the advent of the internet it's easier than it's ever been to get your idea out there. We talk about some of them.

Jobs - most of us have them but what exactly is a job? Have you thought about all the different types? Liz and Noah delve into what a job is and what he'd like to do when he grows up. www.talkingcentshub.com

Does your child know about what happens when you pay for shopping with a debit card? It's worth discussing what the flow of money looks like because money looks so different from when we were younger and before there were ATMs! It might even stop some of the 'can I have this?' questions! (well we can hope)
