Since the American Bankers Association Educa tion Foundation’s National Teach Children to save Day began in 1997, thousands of bankers have taught money skills to more than one mil lion students. Bank of Eastern Oregon offers the following tips to help parents make every day “Savings Day”: -Help kids open up their own bank savings account and make deposits regularly. Many banks have children’s accounts that have no fee or minimum balance requirements. -Make going to the bank fun. Some banks have kids’ clubs where members get newsletters or receive balloons when they make a deposit. -Kids love to get mail, so encourage them ATM machine works and explain that to take money out of the bank you must first put it in. -Give your kids positive feedback. As they get older, give them respon sibility over how they spend their money. The ABA Educa tion Foundation, a nonprofit subsidiary of the American Bankers Association, is to keep an eye out for their quarterly statement. -Talk to your child about the family budget. Include a discussion on wants and needs. Reinforce this by budgeting for a fam ily outing or purchase. -While children know that money doesn’t grow on trees, they may think it comes out of a wall. Show them how an committed to developing and providing education programs that lead to fi nancial literacy. The ABA Education Foundation’s National Teach Children to Save Day is held every April when thousands of bankers make presenta tions to students on the importance of saving for their future. 1.' writ?
