Experts in child financial literacy believe that, in order to teach children to save, parents should give them easily attainable savings goals, such as saving specifically to buy a toy, game, music, or a computer application. One expert at www.Kiplinger.com suggests showing a child a photograph of the desired item to make the savings goal more tangible. As a child grows, it is important to show him bank statements, so he can begin to see how his money grows in a savings account. Finally, it is essential to let the child spend the money he has saved, so he can start the process over again.
