Teaching children responsibility when it comes to energy bills

We ask people in Birmingham

00:00Yeah, I think that's important. I teach them to know the value of money from a young age.

00:05I know when I go home from uni, my parents say,

00:08oh, my energy bills keep going up every time you come home.

00:10Like, you're in the shower too long, you know, all this kind of stuff.

00:13And a lot of the time at uni as well, your bills sometimes are included,

00:17so you don't really learn the bill-paying process, that sort of thing as well.

00:21So, I certainly talk from a student perspective that you don't tend to think about it quite as much.

00:27I mean, the way I was brought up was, well, you're basically told the value of everything, essentially,

00:33and how much it costs to do all this stuff at the charger.

00:37So, you'd hope that it kind of coincides with parental controls on devices to kind of stop them from using it too,

00:44which would then hopefully bring down energy bills, I suppose.

00:48But, yeah, I don't know. Again, like I said, I'm not a parent, so it's more speculation.

00:54But, yeah, I don't know.
