Recently, an 8-year-old boy went to school with more than 20,000 years of money to give red envelopes to teachers and classmates one by one.
Children who have no concept of money are mostly parents who have no concept of money
The moment I saw this hot search, I was amazed. What does this kid think? How can you be so ignorant of money?
Later, in the video, the boy's mother was heard saying that she had planned to go to the bank to save the brothers' money after the New Year, but as a result, the son took it to the school as soon as the school started, and did not say a word to her.
From my mother's interview with reporters, I think there is one point worth thinking about, that is, my mother is very casual about money and has no concept.
The main reason why children have no concept of money comes from the words and deeds of parents in the family.
Although it is not a bad thing to want to give red envelopes to teachers and classmates, from this matter, as parents, we can at least reflect on whether our children's money education is in place.
If your child did something similar, how would you deal with it?
There is a saying that money is not omnipotent, but it is impossible without money.
Money is related to the quality of life and happy life of a person and a family, and it is indispensable.
Helping children establish a correct view of money and teaching children to learn to spend money and manage money should become a compulsory course for parents.
Let's talk about it today
How can I help my child develop a correct view of money?
★ The sooner a child's view of money is cultivated, the better
The sooner the child's concept of money is cultivated, the better, and when can it be as early as possible?
Sarah Immas, an expert on jewish parenting, once replied:
He didn't have any prescribed time, but actually started at a very young age."
Star mom Huo Siyan, she did a good job in making her son hum about money.
In a parenting program, the son hummed to buy things without paying, after Huo Siyan found out, she asked her son to pay others, and patiently taught the child to know money and tell her son the basic role of money.
Start by differentiating the basic denominations of money. For example, one dollar can buy a lollipop, 5 dollars can buy a large bottle of Sprite, and so on. In addition, Huo Siyan also asked Hum to exchange the way of cleaning the urine pads for the kittens in exchange for pocket money.
Under the patient explanation and education of my mother, Hum also has a basic concept of money.
Huo Siyan later said that she wanted to understand the concept of money, that is, money does not fall from the sky, money needs to pay hard, wisdom, physical strength may be obtained.
In the book "The Right View of Money", it is written:
"In the process of forming a child's view of money, the education and guidance of parents is crucial."
Indeed, whether it is actor Huo Siyan or a tycoon like Huo Qigang, they have paid attention to establishing a correct view of money when the child is very young.
Children's concept of money is often slowly formed in the daily life, so when the child is still very young, parents should pay attention to money education.
★ Let your child know where the money comes from
Remembering that Huo Qigang had sent a Weibo before lamenting the convenience of the e-wallet, sweeping it, the money in the wallet was spent.
He felt that this way of spending money was not conducive to children's understanding of money.
Therefore, in order to let their children have an understanding of money, they can experience the true meaning of money. Every weekend family activities, Huo Qigang will choose to let the children help their father wash the car.
The younger sister is small, rewarding delicious food, and the brother earns some pocket money, so that they know the price and pay behind the purchase, and also allows them to learn to cherish money and love money.
Let children understand that the acquisition of money requires their own labor, experience life in labor, and understand the hard-won nature of money, cherish money, and also learn to manage money.
★ Let your child develop the habit of managing money
As the saying goes, you don't manage your money, and your money doesn't care about you.
Your relationship with money, in the final analysis, is your relationship with yourself.
You like yourself and know how to manage yourself, so you must be extremely self-disciplined and rich, which is both material and spiritual wealth.
On the contrary, if you don't like yourself, don't know how to manage yourself, stay up late to play games, work and mix your days, spend all your money, borrow money when you don't have money, etc., so that you don't say money, health will be farther and farther away from you.
Therefore, if you want to live a happy life, it is important to have a financial awareness and the habit of managing money.
To manage money is to manage one's own life.
In the book "Rich People Are Different from What You Think", he once said:
"The biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is your ability to manage money. Quite simply, if you want to manage money, you must first manage it."
It is essential to cultivate a correct view of money and let children have the habit of managing money.
How to manage money?
In the book "Puppy Money Money", Gia's goose with a golden egg, a dream piggy bank and a dream manual are all worth learning.
Write at the end
Robert Kiyosaki, author of The Rich Dad Poor Dad, once said:
"A man's concept of money has had a huge impact on his life.
The correct view of money brings children not only material wealth, but also spiritual abundance.
Let children have a correct view of money, know how to spend money and manage money, and parents should cultivate as early as possible.
