I believe that many parents have seen such a street interview, which mainly interviews children around 4-8 years old whether they know where the family's money comes from.
The most heard answer is that Mom and Dad's money comes out of their phones.
One of the most impressive is that a child said that his father does not have to work, every day at home to watch TV, the money will go to the mobile phone, such an answer is really ironic.
Through this survey, it is not difficult to find that many children lack the correct concept of money, do not understand where money comes from, and do not know how to use money.
In fact, this is inseparable from the parents' education and guidance, and I always feel that it is not necessary to talk about money with my children, and I will know it when I grow up.
This is not the case, if the child does not understand the difficulty of making money, when spending money, it will be unrestrained and extravagant.
In order to pay for her children's tuition, a mother has to work three jobs a day, often staying up until eleven or twelve o'clock, and as a result, her son recharges the game currency at home and almost runs out of the family's money.
Let's imagine if the child understood the hardships of his mother's earning money, and would he still make such a mistake?
As parents, we must establish a correct concept of money for our children, so that children know that money is not easy to come by.
If the child asks you, "Mom, how much money does our family have", we may as well tell the child directly, do not exaggerate or inferiority, do not wronged the child, and of course do not indulge the child.
In this way, the child will become full of self-confidence in the process of growing up, and become a person who will make money and manage his own money at the same time.
Na Hawthorne once said this:
Learn to use money, money is a slave, instead it will become your master
This tells us to know how to control money, not to become a slave to money.
As a parent, the education of the child must be all-round, and the financial and business education is equally important to help the child establish a correct view of money and use it reasonably.
This is what I use for my own children, "Financial and Business Enlightenment book for children", which has a total of five books, which is very suitable for students aged 3-12 years old.
Through a small story, the children seem to be immersed in the scene, following the protagonist to learn how to make money and save money, which is easy to understand.
For example, where does the money come from? In this book, the child is told:
It turned out that the family's money was that parents needed to work and then get a salary, so that parents would have money.
For example, in the book "Learn to Save, Borrow and Repay", let the child know that saving money, borrowing money, and repaying money are all methods and techniques.
First, no matter what you do, the most important thing is credit, and the money owed to others must be returned on time.
Second, when other people borrow money from themselves, they have the right to say "no."
The book "Spending Money and So Much Learning" guides children to spend rationally and take proper care of their own money.
"The Secret Behind the Tycoon of Wealth" is mainly to tell the small stories of wealth celebrities such as Bill Gates, so that children can learn the spirit and qualities in them.
Each story in this book is very vivid and interesting, and it is accompanied by a lot of illustrations, which makes children love to read.
What I like most about this set of books is that it can reflect the interaction with children.
After reading the short story, the child can think about what to do when he encounters such a thing according to the questions in the book. Put things to life.
Since its release, this set of books has been loved by many readers and the quality is guaranteed.
At the same time, it was full of praise.
For children's business education is a very important part of the child's growth process, our purpose is not to let children make a lot of money, but to let him know that money or gain is not an easy thing, understand the meaning of giving and gaining, have the right values, I believe that reading will also bring you and your child a different reading experience.
