OPINION: The money signals sent by mums and dads from childhood to adulthood shape our ability to become financially independent adults.
Children learn from what they see, hear and feel. Money is no different.
Financial education can only go so far, and how we ultimately behave with money is learnt from the people closest to us. Fairness within a family doesn't always automatically extend to money.
The personality traits and talents of children and young adults can impact the ability of a parent to notice cash-favouritism. In adult children, both appreciation and manipulation can cloud a parent's ability to see an unfair outcome.
