A educação financeira na Educação Infantil: uma abordagem sobre o consumo consciente

Abstract

This study explores financial education in early childhood education, emphasizing its importance for the construction of critical, responsible and conscious citizens. In a society marked by unrestrained consumption, the introduction of financial concepts contributes significantly to the development of fundamental skills such as financial planning, saving and the distinction between desires and needs. The research, of bibliographical nature and qualitative approach, analyzes financial education as an essential tool to foster autonomy, ethical and social values. Financial Education is directly connected to the promotion of conscious consumption, and is presented as an indispensable tool for the formation of social skills for the promotion of autonomy. In addition, the collaboration between family and school is emphasized as an indispensable aspect for the success of this educational process. It is concluded that financial education in childhood not only promotes financial literacy, but also strengthens the sense of social responsibility and contributes to the construction of a more balanced and conscious society. Thus, investing in financial education from an early age is fundamental for the development of individuals and a more conscious society.
