Frugality is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation, but when parents educate their children, they should pay attention to distinguishing between what is frugality and what is "stinginess", and do not let children develop wrong "frugal" behavior.
Jiahui is 8 years old, and his parents are usually busy at work, so he follows his grandmother, and his grandmother is a more "frugal" person.
On this day, Grandma took Jiahui out and saw the "public welfare freezer" on the side of the road, which contained a lot of drinks or something, so Grandma took Jiahui to get a lot of drinks, and happily took Jiahui home.
On the way home, Jiahui actually still has some doubts, because the public welfare freezer is written for those who need it, such as sanitation workers, traffic police, takeaway brothers, courier brothers and other people who have been in bad working conditions for a long time, jiahui feels that he did not need it at that time.
And for Jiahui's doubts, Grandma said that the things in the public welfare freezer are available to anyone, not only for those people, and also said that they don't need it now doesn't mean they don't need it in the future, this behavior is a frugal behavior, Jiahui seems to understand the non-understanding of the nodding.
Not only that, Jiahui's grandmother often takes him to the supermarket to try to eat "full meals", takes Jiahui to some public welfare mutual aid restaurants to ask for "single set meals", and receives "love meals" at public welfare breakfast shops on the side of the road, etc. Jiahui, under the influence of a series of behaviors of grandma, has also become very "frugal".
Before the child is 8 years old, these "frugal" behaviors that are not right will be difficult to have in the future
He likes to take advantage of small things and disregard public morality
Jiahui because of the influence of his grandmother, also began to become "frugal", became the same as his grandmother, on the way to school, if you see some public welfare "free items", whether you need it or not, Jiahui will go to get it.
Jiahui's classmates did not understand Jiahui's behavior and felt that there was something wrong with Jiahui's moral thinking. However, Jiahui is convinced that his behavior is frugal, saying that he is implementing the teacher's concept of "advocating frugality".
As a result, Jiahui's relationship with his classmates at school was more awkward, and the classmates felt that Jiahui was very immoral, but Jiahui felt that other students did not understand frugality.
But then again, if the child maintains this habit for a long time, it will definitely have an impact on the child's life and friends, as well as other aspects, and such a person will be difficult to have a career in the future, after all, people who only have free items in their eyes cannot have a long-term development vision.
Being too stingy leads to unmet needs in one's own life
Under the influence of his grandmother, Jiahui not only likes to take advantage of small things everywhere, but also begins to be "harsh" on himself.
For example, I usually do not buy an eraser, when I need to use it, I look for classmates to borrow, and once when I took an exam, I was deducted points because there was no eraser, and finally I took the bottom few in the class.
In addition to studying, life, he is also very "frugal", when he went to buy apples, Jiahui knew that the big apple was expensive, the small apple was cheap, so he bought the small apple, but when he went back, he found that the core of the small apple was very large, and there was not much pulp at all.
In fact, many of Jiahui's seemingly "frugal" behaviors are a kind of behavior that does not pay off, the consequences are more negative, and sometimes more efforts are needed to make up for the defects caused by "frugality".
As a typical example, many people feel that the leftovers are wasted, and the result is left to eat the next day, or the day is hard to hold on, and the result is that they are sick, and the money spent on medical treatment can eat several meals, and finally, both the money is spent and the guilt is suffered, which is not the right frugal behavior at all.
Obsessed with calculations, do not know how to share
Because of his grandmother, Jiahui also developed the habit of "calculating". For example, when doing anything, whether it needs to be pondered or not, Jiahui always likes to link it with interests and calculate it.
For example, the school held sharing activities in order to exercise everyone's sense of community, but Jiahui tried his best to "get benefits" from the activities, and did not consider sharing at all.
Once the child has this "iron rooster" idea, then it is difficult to have a foothold, because the child will not use the collective power, do not understand the team spirit, can not produce social charm, and will not be able to stand firm in this society.
Therefore, when parents educate their children, they must pay attention to showing their children the correct concept of frugality, so that children can develop a real frugal habit, rather than being stingy, picking doors, and being stingy, and having the correct concept of frugality, so that children will maximize the use of their own resources and develop more excellently.
Wrong frugal behavior will delay the child's life, and parents should teach their children how to be frugal correctly
Understand the true meaning of frugality
Before educating their children, parents must first understand the true meaning of frugality. Frugality, that is, living frugally, with moderation, not waste.
So we should pay attention to the fact that frugality is based on meeting their own living needs, there is an old saying called "cycling to bungee, the province should spend flowers", which is actually a frugal concept, parents should teach their children to spend their money, time and other resources on the factors they really need, even if it costs more, it is not a waste, on the contrary, spending on factors that they do not need, even if the money is less, it is also a waste.
Guide your child to establish the right values
Parents should also pay attention to helping children establish correct values, because children's values will affect children's judgment of some money, time, things and other factors, if the child's values are not correct, it is likely to appear: the child has a frugal heart, but the result is wasteful.
Therefore, in guiding children to establish correct values, parents should pay attention to leading by example and setting a correct example for their children.
epilogue
Frugality reflects people's respect for the fruits of their labor, is the display of personal cultivation, but also a basis for children to establish good qualities, so parents must help their children establish a correct concept of frugality, do not lead the wrong way, affect the child's future personal development.
