Before telling you, how to let children develop the concept of money, do not have no concept of money at all, in fact, this is also part of family education. At that time, it was also said that children should be "properly" involved in making money, and that they should explain to their children the concepts of spending money (family expenses), costs, savings, investment, etc., so that children understand what money really is.
However, for some younger children, such as kindergarten children, how should we understand and move with affection?
A more interesting piece of information is that there is a kindergarten and this child signed a labor contract (of course, it is false), then the children will symbolically hold certain positions in the kindergarten, such as the logistics department, the administrative department, and then every month will also pay a salary, 1 yuan, 2 yuan. Of course, money is not important, mainly to let children feel the work, understand the meaning of money and compensation.
Of course, the parents' response was still very welcome, the children were also excited and happy, and overall the "activity" worked well. Of course, there are also some parents who are opposed, because they feel that their children are working for teachers at school, which is a bit undeserved.
But in general, the parents' complaints are also a bit ridiculous, in fact, what can the kindergarten child do in the kindergarten? It is nothing more than helping to take toys or something, managing the management order, playing the hand, in fact, it is the same as making games.
Of course, the benefits of this are still relatively intuitive.
First, let the child understand that money is paid for labor. Then this method, we can also do at home, symbolically sign this so-called labor contract with the child, such as brushing the bowl several times a week, sweeping how much land. Maybe some parents will think that if you do this, it is too utilitarian. Originally, some housework was what the child should do, but when you do it, the child becomes particularly utilitarian.
Yes, the logic is correct. Therefore, when we teach our children the concept of money, we must take it seriously. The more serious we are, the weaker the "utilitarian" nature of the matter. Why do you say so, it is very simple, the child's utilitarianism is not utilitarian, it lies in how we look at this matter, we make things simple and utilitarian, then the child is perfunctory, it is also utilitarian. We carefully calculated and weighed carefully, and the child naturally took it seriously and calculated it well.
Second, making money without spending money is not educating the concept of money, but only making pocket money. We can tell the children about the cost of the family, and the children are not afraid of the accounting, and we are afraid that we will not settle the accounts with the children. It's like pocket money, which is originally the normal budget of the family, how to send it, how much to send it is a technical job. We must also let the child understand why she is given so much pocket money, which is not determined by patting her head, but the result of the family's careful calculation.
Third, making money, spending money, not understanding savings, investment, that can only be said to understand a small part of the "concept of money". Let children make money, let children "save", these parents are actually not strangers, the problem is how to save, how to increase in value, how to delay consumption. At this time, it is necessary to explain the concept of savings to the child, and even let the child carry out simple entrepreneurship and borrowing.
For example, if a child wants to buy a large toy, if he does not have enough money, can he borrow money from his parents? Again, of course it's okay to let him enjoy or let him experience the "real" process of money, the more seriously you take this matter, the more seriously you take your child, then your child can learn more "real" things from it.
Fourth, the most important. That is the example of parents. If parents do not over-consume, have a good view of financial management, and are willing to share this with their children, then the child will definitely have a "healthy view of money". But many parents are reluctant to make the information about money so clear with their children, in other words, financial opacity.
This is the main reason why the child's view of money is weak, because in his daily life, he can't see money, he doesn't know how money comes from, how money is spent, so he can't correctly understand the concept of "money". Therefore, only by taking it seriously and explaining it clearly can children develop good values.
As for the kind of thing like school or kindergarten that pays children's wages, in fact, it is also unattainable, of course, can we refer to his practice, and set these rules and regulations for making money at home, then it depends on the parents' own educational philosophy and rhythm.
To take another small example, we are making money from the boss (company), the child is making our money, then the child can also earn social money, for example, some simple entrepreneurial projects: planting this is particularly good and suitable for children to do the work, I know the parent, he does not give the child pocket money, but he sold the potatoes planted by the child to "friends", which is also the money that the child earns through his own efforts. Later it was upgraded to grow flowers because potatoes were too cheap...
Of course, this is also a kind of "lie" of parents, but only when you use the "real" rules of money to teach children, children can really learn the knowledge of money.
So parents, do you also want your child to become a financial expert?
