An early objective as they grow up may well be to help children understand the value and importance of money.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, tax will be a major factor to consider, as will the risks of giving children too much money too soon. It is therefore important for parents and others to appreciate the basic tax and legal rules, and the investment products that are suitable for children to help achieve the goals set for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/keyguides\/SBWM-KeyGuides-Investingforchildren.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click to download<\/a><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module template_part --><!-- module template_part -->\n<div  class=\"module module-layout-part tb_v01y300 \">\n    <div class=\"tb_layout_part_wrap tf_w\"><!--themify_builder_content-->\n    <div  class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7137 themify_builder not_editable_builder in_the_loop\" data-postid=\"7137\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_atop356 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full   tb_e2m2906 first\">\n                    <!-- module accordion -->\n<div  class=\"module module-accordion tb_ps0b573 \" data-behavior=\"accordion\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    \n    <ul class=\"ui module-accordion  rounded gradient tb_default_color\">\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-ps0b573-0\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-ps0b573-0-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Financial protection \u2013 for you and your family<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-ps0b573-0-content\" data-id=\"acc-ps0b573-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                                    <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n                        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/keyguides\/SBWM-KeyGuides-Financialprotection.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7056 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sbwm.uk\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SBWM_Keyguide-covers4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"234\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 170px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 170\/234;\" \/><\/a>PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST<\/p>\n<p>Most people\u2019s finances are like a house of cards, with their ability to earn an income acting as the bottom row.
