Polish parents pivot to financial, developmental and digital education for children

A Bank Millennium‑commissioned study shows Polish parents increasingly value financial education for preschoolers. 88% see a need for it, 71% regularly discuss money matters, and 52% now take children to banks – a 16‑point rise since 2020. More parents are opening accounts and giving pocket money, while still noting that instructional materials are not always easy to find, especially for children with neuro‑developmental needs.

Fundacja Alpha, in partnership with Australia’s La Trobe University, is providing Polish families with tools such as the ASDetect platform to help spot early signs of social and communicative development. The foundation’s “Rozpoznaj Z.N.A.K.I.” campaign highlights five key development areas, aiming to give parents research‑based knowledge and a sense of agency.

A Parlini Land survey reveals that 71.6% of Polish parents feel guilty about their children’s screen time, yet only 4.4% view digital activities as valueless. A strong 92% recognise educational benefits, with language learning rated most valuable by 57.7% of respondents, followed by educational videos, logic games and learning apps. The debate is shifting from merely limiting screen minutes to assessing the quality of digital content.
