Our kids are our sunshine. They make us happy when skies are gray. Sure, being a parent can be tough, but we love it!

It also keeps us super busy so we might not know about all the great businesses that cater to our kids. Never fear - that’s where Do South® Kids comes in. From education to health, to activities and entertainment, we’ve got you covered!

ARVEST 866. 952.9523 | arvest.com Arvest Bank is joining with local schools to celebrate Teach Children to Save during the month of April. Arvest associates will be visiting classrooms and delivering ageappropriate savings education lessons, covering items such as the difference between needs and wants, learning how to identify expenses and ways to cut spending.

Established by the American Bankers Association Foundation in 1997, Teach Children to Save and the Foundation’s other financial education initiatives have helped reach 8.2 million young people through the commitment of more than 245,000 banker volunteers.

Arvest Bank offers the following tips for raising money-smart kids: • Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscientious spender and an active saver.

• Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money.

• Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so.

• Open a savings account for your children and take them with you to make deposits so they can learn how to be hands-on in their money management.

• Let friends and family know about your child’s savings goal. They will be more likely to give cash for special occasions, which means more trips to the bank.
