Girl Scout study of girls' financial literacy

"Girls age 8 to 17 are upbeat about their future prospects, but just 12% say they're confident about making financial choices, a survey from the Girl Scout Research Institute shows. About 40% said they don't know how to use a credit card, and only 38% knew what a credit score is." Parents need to spend more time educating their children about financial management. Most kids learn by watching their parents which may not be the best introduction to prudent financial attitudes and practices.
