Teach Me Wall Street has offered these ways to get your teens interested in investing.
- Talk about their future goals – where they would like to go to college and what they would like to buy if they had more money – and discuss investment choices in an interesting way, without lecturing.
- Use an age-appropriate vocabulary that they can understand.
- Create a mock portfolio that’s tied to your teen’s interests. If they like PlayStation, they might want to invest in Sony – If they enjoy film, maybe purchase stock in Disney + or Netflix – Perhaps some Apple stock if they, like most kids, are always glued to their phone.
- Explain potential benefits of investing in stock – For example, Tesla stock was under $20 in 2010 and today, it’s worth over $600. Also, discuss the risks involved.
- Follow the selected stock activity with them so you can discuss gains and losses.
- Watch Shark Tank and other fun, business-related shows with your kids to open up discussion.
- If money discussions are difficult for you, or your kids take advice more willingly from another adult, enlist the help of someone with whom you and your child feel comfortable.
- Open a custodial or education account for your child, and with your guidance, and some practice, allow them to make investment decisions.
- Enroll them in a Teach Me Wall Street Summer Finance Boot Camp.
