Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.
I don't know where country do you reside from, OP but this seems like a toxic family culture here in my country in the Philippines where in the parents would force their children to adopt what they had learn in their lives thinking that their knowledge is still relevant to this day. It's like the boomer mindset in simpler words. The children would want to be a software developer, but his/her parents would want them to be an engineer even if the son/daughter purely hates it.
To what you just said, I would just tell my children for awareness that there is such thing as Bitcoin and I would just let them know that I would be here to guide them if they became interested to it, not really forcing it.
I would still teach them how to handle money in general though like all those budgeting-topics whenever the right time already arrives.
It's not just about our children; we shouldn't impose the learning of Bitcoin on anyone who isn't interested in it. When discussing Bitcoin with someone, we may discover whether the other person is genuinely interested or not. If we insist on pushing the conversation forward with someone who lacks interest, it would be futile and a waste of time. The same principle applies when talking to our children about Bitcoin we need to gauge their reactions. Instead of forcing the topic, it's better to gradually educate them and share our success stories related to Bitcoin. This way, they may develop an interest in it over time.
This is true not just for the children but to the elders not adopting the latest technology these days. Unless there's like a good reason in not adopting a certain technology, I don't think it should be problem. If they stick the usual QWERTY phones, that's fine but if they think that they can still use floppy disk to store their documents electronically then I think there's gotta be more KT that should be involved.
