As an ordinary family with a general economy, especially in the degree of children's eating and wearing, it has always adhered to the principle of practicality, good quality of clothes, and comfortable comfort, and there is no big brand. First, the big names are often expensive, and the quality is still very general, children are growing body stage, the size of the dress is changed once a year, buying a big brand is really unnecessary. Second, I don't want to give my children a sense of comparison, and primary school students are mainly based on learning.
But just last week, the child looked sullen after school, patiently asked several times, the child whispered: in football class, many students in the class are wearing brand-name shoes, Nike, Asdas, and I do not have a pair, wearing domestic affordable shoes, I feel that they are laughing at me. “
Hearing this, I feel very surprised, this is only the third grade of primary school, has the children begun to compare? Is not wearing big shoes an inferiority complex?
I calm down to tell the child: wearing domestic affordable shoes is not shameful, baby, the value of a person is not reflected through external things, now for you, try to do a good job in learning to achieve excellent results, is the most worthy of showing off, if you like those things, we can get through our own efforts. “
The son nodded his head in understanding, and then said softly, "Their shoes don't look very good..."
I smiled and touched the child's head and said, "Isn't it more expensive to choose a pair of your favorites to make you happy?" “
My son finally smiled and ran to write his homework, in fact, I was glad that I could talk to my child about money and psychology, and help my child successfully solve it.
However, in daily life, there must be many parents who have been asked similar questions by their children:
"Why do other students drive their parents to pick them up, but you ride an electric car to pick them up?"
"Why can other people's families go out and travel, but ours can't?"
"Why do other people live in big houses, but we can only rent houses?"
In the face of these questions, how should we, as parents, answer them?
Therefore, I think it is necessary to teach children the cognition of money, let children truly understand the meaning of only paying to gain, and cultivate a correct view of money.
Just some time ago to choose books for children, found a set of specially for 3-12 years old children to read the "Financial And Business Enlightenment Book for Children", the storyline is vivid and interesting, the content is not boring and tedious, through the form of comics to let children understand the concept of money, the reason is easy to understand, very suitable for children to read without pressure.
This set of books is divided into 5 volumes, teaching children the cognition of money, how to spend money reasonably, how to save money, how to make more money, etc., the content is comprehensive, and guide children to establish a correct view of money.
With vivid and interesting illustrations, the small philosophies about money are described as interesting little stories, using pictures and texts, so that children can unconsciously substitute for it when reading, learn how to spend money, how to save money, how to make money, and easily help children recognize the concept of money.
For example, in "Learn to save money, borrow money and repay money", you can help children establish a correct view of money, but also tell children to learn to save money, no matter who borrows money, you must talk about credit return on time, or when others borrow money from you, you also have the right to say no.
In this book "Spending Money and So Much Learning", through a small story, guide children to consume reasonably, consume correctly, and use every sum of money reasonably, without blindly consuming indiscriminately.
Moreover, at the end of each short story, there will be a "wealth tip" that triggers children to think deeply, teach children to think differently, better understand the truth, and deepen their memories.
The concept of money has a far-reaching impact on a person, so if there are children at home, it is advisable to give the child a set of hands, let the child learn in reading, establish the correct three views, teach the child the cognition of money from an early age, form the correct concept of consumption, and cultivate a child with financial and business knowledge.
