1, let children know about money.
Let children know what money looks like, the sooner the better. Early childhood can teach children to know coins and paper money, and cultivate children's concept of money.
2. Establish the basic concept of "money is hard to come by" for children.
This is the most important and basic concept. Regardless of family circumstances, parents should tell their children that "money does not fall from the sky, but comes from labor". Otherwise, children will feel that money is hard-won and do not cherish it.
Family members should always be consistent.
No matter whether the child asks for money from his father, his mother or his grandparents, all family members have the same attitude towards the child's money, and the standard for answering the child's money question should be the same. Otherwise, it is easy to confuse children's view of money and even produce distorted understanding.
Parents should control their children's freedom to use money.
The so-called freedom means that when children want money, parents don't want to meet all the requirements; After giving the money, we should supervise how the children use it. Moreover, supervision is important and cannot be relaxed. Once parents' supervision is too loose, it will open a hole for the child, and it is easy for him to develop extravagant consumption habits.
Parents should let their children know that "money is not everything".
On the one hand, parents should set an example to let their children pay attention to money, on the other hand, they should let their children know that money can't represent everything, let alone replace family ties and friendship. "Having money is not necessarily happiness, and having no money is not necessarily bad luck." For example, if your family is sick, you can tell your child that money can't buy health.
Finally, parents teach their children to allocate money reasonably. After children spend money to buy things, parents should discuss with their children whether the money is worth it or not and encourage them to learn to bargain. Learning to allocate money reasonably is not only an exercise in life, but also the foundation for children to settle down in society in the future.
