Money has become invisible: contactless taps, in-app purchases, loot boxes. This friendly, plain-English guide gives you the few big ideas that matter — chance, saving, risk and a healthy suspicion of numbers — with simple activities to share with your child at the kitchen table.

You don't need to be good at maths. If you can count sweets and read a price tag, you can teach every idea in this guide — and your child will be much harder to fool with numbers.
Each module is a short read with a hands-on activity to try with your child that week — from a sweet-bag probability experiment to a month of pretend investing.
Cashless money, in-app spending and game currencies — and why children need a mental model of money more than ever.
Probability through games, loot boxes and “near misses”, and why the house always wins.
Saving, borrowing and compounding, explained with sweets and a jar.
Why the safest choice isn’t always the best — and how to judge a decision, not just its outcome.
“Up to 70% off”, misleading averages and stretched charts — the tricks used in ads, news and social media.
The four levers every scam pulls, money-mule “jobs”, and the habits that protect your child.
A hands-on project that pulls the whole guide together — no real money involved.
No. Every idea is explained from scratch with everyday examples — sweets, dice, pocket money. If you can work out a price in a shop, you have all the maths you need.
No. The guide explains ideas, not products. It doesn't recommend any account, fund or provider, and nothing in it is financial advice.
Children aged roughly 7–16. Each activity has simpler and more advanced versions so you can pitch it at your child’s level.
Yes — Module 2 explains exactly what a loot box costs in real money and how “near misses” are designed to keep children playing.
