Talking about money isn’t always easy. However, getting children

used to talking about money early can help them avoid financial issues in the

future. Talk, Learn, Do (TLD) is an evidence-based parenting intervention developed by the

Money Advice Service to help parents of 3-11 year olds talk to their children

about money.

 This half-day practical training will enable you to deliver

engaging activities to enable parents to teach their children to develop

positive money habits. This training course provides skills for those with no

financial capability training and offers new approaches for those who have

already worked in this field

  

This workshop provides you with:

• opportunity to explore the Talk, Learn, Do resources and
• discover how to adapt them to your families and setting.
• a toolkit, marketing ideas and resources to enable you to
• deliver the programme as soon as you get back to your organisation

There will be lunch and refreshments on the day.
MaPS would expect that attendees plan to deliver a two-hour TLD session to parents.
