This tactic needs to be employed with consideration as it may not always be feasible, but a parent matching savings (as in 1 for 1) with a child, can be a great motivator, especially if they are saving for something important.
Having stressed the importance of savings so much throughout this article, it is important to highlight the need for moderation and parental judgement. Having a healthy savings attitude is a key to success, but stretching it to an extreme could result in an individual who is overly frugal and even borderline stingy. Therefore just like most things in life, solid judgement and moderation will see your child saving in a positive sustainable way.
The art of saving needs to be embraced by the mother/father figure in a child’s life for the child to really grasp the importance of saving. As a parent, your child will always look up to you, which highlights how leading by example could result in both you and your children living a more sustainable, healthy lifestyle. The benefits of saving appropriately make learning and teaching your child to save a very rewarding experience. Good luck and I hope you put your newly acquired skills to good use.
