From the Families We Work With
Farahana Hassan
Petaling Jaya, Selangor
"My daughter is 15 and had never thought much about where money goes. After the six-week programme she came home and asked me to go through our household expenses with her. I wasn't expecting that. The weekly summaries they send parents are genuinely useful — short enough to actually read, clear enough to follow up on."

"Good programme, well organised. My son (11) found the workbook exercises a bit slow at first — he's used to things moving faster — but by the third week he was engaged. I think the pace is actually right for the age group even if it doesn't feel exciting from the outside. The end-of-term parent session was helpful."

"We enrolled two children in the Family Annual Track — one in the junior range, one in the teen range. Running parallel sessions for parents and kids is a smart idea that I haven't seen elsewhere. The monthly household activities are not complicated but they open up conversations that genuinely wouldn't happen otherwise."

"The group size made a real difference. My son is quiet in large classroom settings but he asked questions in every Lumencore session. He's brought the workbook out more than once since the programme finished. I would enrol him in the Annual Track next year if his schedule allows."

"Practical and local — the examples are all in Ringgit with Malaysian situations, which sounds like a small thing but it matters. My daughter is 10 and she now asks about prices when we're at the market. The illustrated workbook is nicely designed too. I wasn't sure about the pace at first but it settled well by week four."

"We did the Annual Track as a family and I found the parent sessions as useful as my children did. The quarterly joint events were a highlight — sitting through structured activities with my kids on the same topic was something we hadn't done before. Good use of a year."

Family Journeys Through the Programmes
Case Study 01 · Money Basics for Teens
A Teenager Who Avoided Money Conversations
The Situation
A 16-year-old in Bangsar had no frame of reference for personal budgets and felt uncomfortable whenever money came up at home. Her parents wanted a structured programme that would cover the basics without feeling like a lecture.
The Programme
She enrolled in Money Basics for Teens. The small group format helped — she described the sessions as "more like a discussion than a class." Weekly take-home activities meant her parents could engage with the same content at home.
After Six Weeks
She put together a simple monthly budget for her personal spending by the final session. Her parents noted she started asking questions about household decisions. The workbook remained on her desk months after the programme ended.
"She actually came to us with questions she'd written down from the workbook. That was unexpected." — Parent, Bangsar
Case Study 02 · Junior Money Curriculum
Building a Saving Habit from Age Nine
The Situation
A 9-year-old in Kepong had a loose understanding of money but no sense of what saving meant in practice. Her parents were looking for something more structured than occasional conversations, with materials she could keep.
The Programme
The Junior Money Curriculum ran through one school term. The illustrated workbook covered vocabulary, simple budgets, and saving concepts. Sessions were in a small group of similar-aged learners and moved at a pace she found comfortable.
By End of Term
She started tracking her weekly pocket money voluntarily using the workbook. She told her parents she was "saving for something" — a concept that hadn't existed for her before. Parents attended the end-of-term debrief and continued the habit-tracking at home.
"She asked to set up her own envelope system at home after the second week. We weren't expecting that." — Parent, Kepong
Case Study 03 · Family Annual Track
A Household with Two Different-Age Children
The Situation
A family in Subang Jaya with children aged 11 and 14 wanted a programme that could serve both at the same time, without forcing either into content that wasn't right for their age. The parents also wanted to be involved directly.
The Programme
The Family Annual Track ran both children in age-appropriate sessions while parents attended the parallel track. Monthly household activities were completed together, and the quarterly joint events brought everyone to the same session.
After Twelve Months
The household began reviewing their joint grocery budget as a monthly activity. Both children had developed distinct saving approaches that reflected their different ages and temperaments. The parent forum remained a useful reference point throughout the year.
"Having two different age sessions running in parallel was genuinely useful. We didn't expect to find the parent sessions as worthwhile as we did." — Parent, Subang Jaya
