Children only know that toys are beautiful and want to have them, but they don't know what a few hundred dollars for a toy means.
Therefore, many parents pay attention to cultivating their children's awareness of money from an early age, so that children can know that every penny is hard-won and cannot be wasted.
If children want to buy things, let them save their own money and buy them by doing housework and other labor.
In order to let children know the concept of money and cultivate their awareness of money, some kindergartens have also started to hold some educational activities.
The kindergarten "salary check" is on fire, with one yuan salary and a formal labor contract.
An online video of a baby coming home with a salary is on fire.
Picking up the baby from school, Bao Dad opened the door and saw the baby in high spirits with a piece of paper in his hand.
Dad Bao asked what happened in the baby's kindergarten, so happy.
The baby showed the salary slip to Bao Dad, saying that the teacher paid himself and could buy a lollipop to eat.
Bao dad looked at the salary slip, which said that the actual payment amount was one yuan, and there was a financial audit. This looks no different from his usual payroll.
Later, Baba learned that kindergarten teachers set up many departmental posts, allowing children to choose their own departments.
After finishing their work, the teacher will pay each child a salary at the end of the month, of course, it is a few dollars, not very high.
And every child also has a labor contract, which looks full of ritual.
This behavior of the teacher has been recognized by many treasure mothers.
The position set by the teacher is mainly to let the children help the teacher to do some very simple work, which not only makes the children sensible, but also makes them know that it is not easy to make money through their own labor.
This precious dad is also very happy. The baby got his first salary in life, which is very memorable. It is a memory to keep the salary slip and labor contract and look back when the child grows up.
However, some parents object to the teacher's behavior.
They think that they send their children to kindergarten, but let their baby help the teacher at school. They don't want their children to work at home on weekdays, but the teacher is a little unhappy to let such a small child work.
Besides, pay for work. If you let your child do some work at home in the future, you should give him money every time.
In the face of this kind of activity in kindergarten, everyone has his own understanding.
Douma believes that some parents agree with the teacher's practice and can let their children choose their own positions. Those who disagree can communicate with the teacher and let other children do it.
So how can we make children have a correct understanding of money?
1, obtained through labor
Let children know that every penny earned needs to be earned through labor, rather than money falling from the sky, which is endless.
Parents can also sign labor contracts with their children at home, for example, let the children wash dishes and sweep the floor several times a week, and the children will be paid if they do it.
And this kind of salary is more of a reward, only a few dollars, let the children know how the money comes, and also let the children have a sense of accomplishment.
2. Let children learn to manage money.
Many treasure mothers like to put their children's pocket money and lucky money in their pockets, saying that children are still young and should be saved first.
However, everyone knows that this nominal existence, in fact, in the end, Ma Bao gave the flowers to himself.
Children are still young and really can't manage money, but Ma Bao can try to let children manage some pocket money by themselves.
When a child wants to buy something, he can pay for it himself.
In this way, children will understand the concept of money, manage money accordingly, and cherish and cherish what they buy with money.
3. Parents lead by example.
Children have a good view of money. First of all, parents should also have a good view of money when spending money, knowing what can and should not be bought for their children.
Children will imitate the people around them. Seeing that parents spend a lot of money and buy clothes one by one, children will also spend a lot of money. I don't know. Money doesn't come easily.
Another kind of comparative psychology, children see that others have a fun toy and want it themselves. At this time, parents need to be rational.
I can't let my children have this kind of psychology that others have and I want to have, actively guide them and establish a correct consumption concept.
