Money today is no longer banknotes, but access codes, bank cards, and the trail we leave online. How can you teach your child to recognize deception and handle their money with care? This is a practical book with clear explanations, real examples, and ready-to-use action plans.
In the digital age, finances live on a smartphone and the internet: account numbers, passwords, notifications, and online purchases. How can you calmly and convincingly explain to a teenager why it’s dangerous to click suspicious links, share codes from SMS, or post photos of expensive purchases on social media?
This book will help you structure that conversation. Together with the author, you’ll take a short journey through the history of money—from the first banknotes to the appearance of the iPhone. And most importantly, you’ll receive concrete instructions: what a skimmer is and how to spot one on an ATM, how to protect a card from being copied, why social engineering is often scarier than malicious software, and how not to fall for scammers who write pretending to be “the school principal.” There’s also a separate section on what to do in cases of cyberbullying and why you should never show strangers your phone screen in messengers.
This guide will reduce parents’ anxiety and help children feel more confident when it comes to personal finances and online safety.
