Teach Children How to Be Successful Investors
If you ask successful investors（投资者）how they learned their first lessons about money, they'll probably tell you their parents taught them. The money values we learned as children stay with us the rest of our lives.1.______ Here are some suggestions for you to teach your child about investment:
Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts（储蓄账户）for your children, and teach them how the bank makes their money grow. 2______ You may even want to set up a matching program, contributing fifty cents fbr each dollar your child saves.
Teach your child about stocks（股票）.3______ Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the businesses that might be good stock investments. Then choose a suitable fund（基金）for your child. 4______ These funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock market while saving for their college education.
Encourage early IRA（个人退休金账户）saving. This is a great way for children who are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. 5______ Let your kids handle their own money.
We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage some of their money will let them earn valuable financial lessons. They may make mistakes, but they may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.
