Telling a grown-up

Why owning up fast always helps

Level 4: Staying safe with money · from age 8 · 2 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Zawadi tapped a link in a message that said “Claim your KES 1,000 prize!” A page asked for Mum’s phone number and she typed it. Now she feels sick with worry.

The big idea

Scammers count on children being too scared to tell. Telling a grown-up quickly is the strongest move you have.

Ask at home

Promise your child that if they ever make a money or phone mistake, telling you fast will never get them in trouble.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
