In the eyes of many parents, children have not grown up, and many things are not done well, so parents feel that their children will not manage pocket money, afraid that he will spend it indiscriminately.
But not all children do not have the ability to properly control money, such as the boy below is very good at managing money.
The boy has just taken the college entrance examination, the pressure of study has eased a lot, before the exam the boy dreamed of having his own mobile phone, bored can play games to relieve stress.
But we know that high school students have no financial resources, so they have to seek financial support from their families.
When the boy told his parents that he wanted to buy a new mobile phone, his parents refused his request on the grounds that he was "tight on hand" recently, but the boy's subsequent performance surprised his parents.
The boy said proudly: "I have a 'small vault', I don't have to worry about my parents."
Parents look puzzled, what is going on? The boy went into the bedroom and threw the piggy bank on the floor, a large pile of paper money and coins scattered, as small as 1 cent to 100.
The parents were astonished to see it, and they did not expect that their son had saved so much money and the vault was so rich.
Then the boy obtained the consent of his parents, went to the mobile phone store to carefully select, and finally bought the mobile phone he wanted, and returned home with the "booty" satisfactorily.
Children can cultivate the ability to control their own money, parents do not confiscate the money of the press, more positive guidance, so that they learn to use pocket money reasonably.
1. Correctly guide children how to save money
Parents can tell their children what are the benefits of saving money, such as saving money themselves, and when they want something, they are fully capable of buying it themselves, without having to consult with their families.
Or tell the child that parents also need to save money, otherwise basic food and clothing cannot be guaranteed.
Let the child understand that spending money should be moderate, and it should be used where it should be used, so that you can save a lot of unnecessary expenses, which can be used to solve urgent needs or buy their favorite items.
2. Let the child observe when summarizing the monthly expenditure
Auditing allows children to know the approximate monthly expenses of the family, so that they have a certain understanding of where the money goes, and know what money to spend and what not to spend.
When you go out to buy vegetables, you can also let your children go with them, teach them how to compare the prices of goods, and buy things that are cheap and inexpensive.
In the beginning, parents should take the initiative to guide and participate, and when the child has developed a habit, he can supervise next to him, and slowly the child can learn how to properly manage pocket money.
3. Help your child keep your pocket money
Children can't resist the temptation, can't save money, parents can help them keep pocket money, and when the child wants a toy or likes a dress, give them the surplus money to let them dispose of it, and tell him that this is the usual pocket money saved to buy.
If you get into the habit of saving money, you can get what you need in the future as soon as possible. After a long time, the child will experience the joy of saving money.
It is a very good thing for children to save money, but after all, children's self-control is not as good as adults, and parents should set a good example for them, correctly guide how to dispose of and use money reasonably, and avoid extravagance and waste.
The most important thing is not to let the child develop a sense of comparison, and do not interfere too much in the child's disposal of pocket money, and give more encouragement to freedom, so that the child can learn how to manage money and achieve economic independence as soon as possible.
