What to Do About Raising Money-Smart Kids

Have you tuned in yet? For those who may have missed the news, last month ESMS launched its very own podcast: Principal Catch-Ups.

The newly released second episode features Katie Ridland, our Treasurer of The Merchant Company and Chair of Governors at ESMS. Katie, who also runs Ridland Wealth Management, joins Principal Anthony Simpson to discuss the importance of financial education — and why it's about so much more than just numbers or checking the balance on a GoHenry app.

Listeners will enjoy a lively discussion on raising financially savvy children, how parents can talk about money at home and the growing influence of the “finfluencer.” Katie also touches on the themes she covers in the financial education sessions she runs for Primary 7s — Members might remember our callout for volunteers for these in January.

🎙️ Listen to the full episode here, and while you're at it, make sure to take a look at the Q&A Katie recently did with ESMS about her experience in finance and role as ESMS Governor.
