The Importance of Self-Control in Financial Management for the Future of Kindergarten Students

Self-control in managing money is very important in life. Knowledge and skills about finance need to be instilled as early as possible to form positive behavior in the future. Therefore, one of the efforts made to instill this attitude in children is by carrying out community service activities. This community service activity was carried out by Petra Christian University students by teaching children at Petra Christian Kindergarten 9. There were various forms of activities carried out. Some of them are puppet shows, coloring, singing together, and decorating piggy banks. Thepurpose of these activities are to increase childrens understanding of the importance of financial management, hone their creativity, and encourage frugal living habits. It is hoped that this community service activity will create better awareness about financial management among the Alpha generation, as well as prepare them for a financially stable future
