The discipline of saving is an important habit to inculcate in a child from a young age. Sometimes, he/she may have a goal to save towards. If your child does, he/she will clearly see the benefits of saving and be motivated to do it.

First off, we have to look for opportunities to start teaching your child about savings goals. The next time he/she wants to buy an item that costs a substantial amount of money (such as a bicycle or an expensive toy), it could present a good opportunity to teach your child about saving for a goal.
