Ownership
Holding a real, legal stake in something, with a claim on its value.
Ownership is the difference between using something and actually holding a piece of it. When your kid owns a share of a company, they don't just admire it — they own a real, if tiny, slice of it, and they benefit when it grows. That sense of 'this is mine' is what makes investing click for kids.
Explain it to your kid
"Having a piece of something that's really yours."
