Saving accounts for kids tied to development: study

By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Creating government savings accounts for children’s future education when they’re young may improve their development, according to a new study. Researchers found that young Oklahomans who had $1,000 deposited for them in a special education savings account scored better on measures of social and emotional behavior by age 4, compared to those who didn’t get an account.
