APRIL IS KIDS MONTH
Every April, credit unions celebrate kids month to focus on fun and financial education. Since money skills are learned and absorbed at an early age, here are some tips to share with your kiddos or grandkids.
Play Games that Involve Money
One of the best ways to teach a lesson is by doing so without your child realizing they're learning. Play games that include a financial component like our Ace Jr. app, Monopoly, or Life, and help them learn to strategize their spending.
Open a Youth Savings Account
Opening up a savings account in your child's name and including them when making deposits, will build conscious savings habits.
Take 'em Grocery Shopping
When at the grocery store, give them a $10 budget for snacks or items they really want. Allow them to pick and narrow down choices to stay within budget.
Lastly, starting financial literacy with your kiddos will help them grow up with good money habits.
