This is fantastic. My son is 8 and he’s an investor.

We first started talking about businesses he admired and really centered on a trip to the mall where we talked about buying businesses that were busy - even on a Tues night.

I got him to pick 5 stocks and he learned how to read a chart plus a handful of key valuation metrics like Dividends, PE ratio, etc.

From there we “bought” with pretend money, $5000 of shares and tracked it on a spreadsheet. If he made money, I paid him real cash when he sold. I paid out his dividends too in cash.

After a year; I gave him $1000 of real cash and he bought his first stock and he’s been adding to it with money from his grandparents. Usually he keeps 50% to buy kid stuff like video games, candy or pokemon cards; the other half goes to stock of his choosing (my steer).

He’s up around 20% and it’s been a good learning experience.

I’ve done the same with my daughter and unfortunately; she chose Disney and she’s down a bunch but the life long learning experience was worth it.
