Just make sure they learn to recognize the value of trans-material assets: one can loose their financial wealth in an instant easily, but their reputation, skills, knowledge, intelligence, health, psychological capacity, inner dignity and freedom of compassion, unconditioned vision and decision-making are less volatile. Understanding this is the first step upwards and is enough for many. Eventually, as the consciousness develops and matures a subject can also recognize these assets are also volatile and seek forth to meet their true self that actually owns these and is the only reliable invariant in their subjective universe.
At the same time try to avoid values dichotomization so the kid won't grow up with a destructive idea of financial wealth being a bad thing to pursue.
If their intelligence seems not sufficient try to make it fun for them to play n-back games like BrainWorkshop, their intelligence will develop stronger and my experience suggests it helps to grok all kinds of stuff (including even transcendental matters!) a lot, in whatever an age (it in fact has enhanced my own mind capacity enough to instantly realize that life in a society is not a zero-sum game and it is usually more beneficial for myself to help others to develop, succeed and strive than to care about maintaining competitive advantage over them and that in whatever an argument the primary objectives are to understand the opponent (whatever bizarre they may sound and regardless to whether or not they're wrong) and enrich your vision while winning the argument is a secondary objective and even happens to be irrelevant in many cases).

Your post has good aim but I don't believe this is the case. Financial wealth is relatively trivial to safeguard after a point - particularly more stable forms (if you own a home outright, in a jurisdiction without property tax, it's essentially yours).
By contrast, one could wake up tomorrow suffering amnesia, could be hit by a car, or suffer any number of health ailments that would drastically curtail those "inner" attributes.
How does one "meet their true self" and what exactly is it? Also, the influence of n-back training on general intelligence is anything but uncontroversial.
By observing everything that is not them but theirs (memories and feelings included) and recognizing what remains.

That's you.

How is it controversial? There are at least 2 credible papers proving it works and the empirical experience of mine and of other people I know demonstrates its efficiency.
