National Survey Reveals Teens Are Not Financially Prepared for Future
A new survey by Wired Research and Jazmarc Services reveals that parents do not believe their teens understand personal finances, are smart with their money, or will make smart financial decisions in the future.

NEW YORK, June 27, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Teens are ready to start enjoying their summer vacation, and that means that most parents will be footing the bill for their kids’ fun-filled activities. But before they reach for their wallets, parents might want to consider taking this opportunity to teach their teens about financial management. According to a new national survey[1], when it comes to understanding finances, teens need all the help they can get.

Data from the study conducted by global research company Wired Research and commissioned by Jazmarc Services, which reached more than 1,000 U.S. parents of teens ages 14-18, highlights that teens are anything but financially prepared to navigate their future. In fact, if they had to rate their teens’ financial preparedness, only 18% of parents think their teens are extremely prepared.

The new survey results are part of the inaugural 2024 Teen Financial Readiness Report, a deep dive into how financially prepared today’s teens really are. Key takeaways include:

  • Parents believe their child’s financial know-how should start at home: 
    • 98% feel responsible for teaching their teens about managing their finances
    • 97% think one of the greatest gifts they can give their teens is the tools to make smart financial decisions
  • Parents doubt their teens; financial preparedness: 
    • 7 in 10 (70%) aren’t extremely confident their teens understand personal finances
    • 2 in 3 (63%) aren’t completely convinced that as their teens get older they’ll make smart financial decisions
  • Financial conversations aren’t a focal point:  A majority of parents have not had a conversation about:
    • Selecting insurance to protect their financial future (83%)
    • Investing money (67%)
    • Financially planning for unexpected life events (62%)

According to Danielle Sherman, founder and CEO of Wired Research, “This research comes at a time when states across the country are making personal finance coursework a critical part of high-school graduation requirements and our research validates why this is so important.”   

Joshua Marcus, founder of Jazmarc Services, agrees.  He says, “The research highlights just how financially underprepared teens are to enter adulthood. The data clearly underscores that there is still so much parents want to teach their teens so they will be ready to face whatever financial challenges come their way.”

NEW YORK, July 18, 2024 (Newswire.com)
–
Tiny Souls Media Inc., a start-up specializing in children’s media and educational resources for caregivers, launched its first episodes of an original preschool animated series entitled Zip and the Tiny Sprouts last month on YouTube. The series is written and directed by K Love You Bye’s Peter Johnston and Kyle Logan with Chris Bennett (Bluey) as animation director. Zip and the Tiny Sprouts aims to entertain young audiences while supporting their learning and social-emotional development. The series will feature 26 seven-minute episodes set in the whimsical Harmony Hollow, released every other weekend on YouTube and the YouTube Kids app. Additional content such as sing-alongs and craft videos are also featured on the channel to help families learn and grow together.

Each episode features meaningful stories and original music on themes like patience, perseverance and gratitude, and is grounded in established curriculum frameworks and developmental psychology research. Lacey Mason (Sesame Workshop, Dodo Kids), Head of Development and Production at Tiny Souls Media, shared, “Each episode of Zip and the Tiny Sprouts is thoughtfully crafted with humor and heart. We have an extremely talented art and animation team making the Sprouts and their world come to life in fantastic, endearing and relatable ways.”

“We are thrilled to launch this unique animated series alongside a robust offering of resources and activities that empower caregivers and educators of young children to learn about important themes that can create a solid foundation for their well-being,” said Shadi Toloui-Wallace, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Tiny Souls Media. 

The show has already become a YouTube sensation with the first five episodes garnering over 1.5 million views within the first month of its release. “The reception to it has been just wonderful. But there’s no time to rest. Our journey is just getting started and we’ve got lots of funny, heartfelt and thoughtful stories to share,” said Animation Director and writer Chris Bennett.

Unique to many of its competitors, Tiny Souls offers educational content for both caregivers and young children, all informed by developmental psychology research. Earlier this year, Tiny Souls Media launched the Caregiver Companion Series of parenting courses available on its website and app, featuring expert advice, purposeful activities and games, songs and more.
