Opening a savings account for your child is one of the best ways to introduce them to the concept of saving at an early age. It’s a skill they will use throughout their life, so teaching them about money and financial literacy at an early age has many benefits.
Opening a savings account for your child can help:
- Teach them to plan ahead.
- Demonstrate how to stay focused on goals and priorities.
- Show them how their money can grow with compound interest.
- Develop the habit of saving for the things they want until they can afford it.
- Teach the value of money and the importance of not wasting it.
- Develop basic math skills.
- Teach them how to manage money.
