Parents’ wrong thrifty ways can have these five effects on their children, and they should correct them

Since childhood has been praised a person has any good qualities worth learning, the mind comes out of the word is ready to help others, thrift and so on.

Every parent wants their children to go out and be praised by others, so some good habits should be cultivated from an early age. Today’s good habit is frugality.

So what is thrift?

Frugality refers to moderation in spending money, not extravagance and waste, such as: go out to turn off the light, wash hands to turn off the tap, go to a restaurant can not finish eating can be packed.

The wrong thrifty behavior of parents can lead to the wrong values of children. Check to see if you have these behaviors.

Keep the child in old clothes

Many parents feel that their children are growing all the time, so buying new clothes is a bit wasteful and they will dress them in old clothes.

In fact, this behavior can be understood and acceptable, but as the child grows older, can not always wear old clothes, otherwise it will inevitably envy other children have new clothes to wear, but they do not have.

So you can appropriately go shopping with children to buy new clothes, not only will increase parent-child feelings, but also can cultivate children’s aesthetic sense.

The leftovers of the family were kept hot

The elders of the family are used to the rest of the food as long as it is not bad, a hot hot can continue to eat, often eat leftovers on the children’s stomach is very influential.

On the surface, it saves money, but if you eat bad and go to the hospital to see a doctor, does it not achieve the purpose of saving money instead of spending more money?

So excessive frugality does not allow children to form good habits, and may have an impact on the growth of children.

1, the child is not enough atmosphere

When taking advantage of small things becomes a habit, children will also be subtly affected. Imagine if a person always likes to take advantage of small things and is not popular anywhere, especially in school, he will be isolated by his classmates and his character is easy to have defects.

2. Children will have low self-esteem

Some parents are thrifty to themselves but generous to their children. Probably every parent is like this. It seems to have no effect on the children, but the children will feel guilty as they get older. When I see that it is not easy for my parents to make money, I feel embarrassed to ask them for money, but when I see my classmates around me have new clothes to wear, I feel inferior.

3. Children become selfish

Selfish people will put their own gains and losses and interests see particularly important, don’t like to pay. Everyone living in this world is need to make friends, and interpersonal communication needs to pay each other, when friends have difficulties do not lend a hand, it is difficult to have friends to help when they have difficulties.

4. Children become shortsighted

Excessive frugality will make children more likely to care about immediate gains and losses, the vision will become shortsighted, looking at very smart children mind will not be very open, and no long-term vision, it is difficult for children to make a long-term plan for their own life, no planning is difficult to have great development.

5. Losing control of your money

Parents are too thrifty will make children lose the concept of money from a young age, now many young people will consume in advance, a large part of the reason is that parents do not make the right example.

Coupled with the influence of the current social environment, children may be extravagant when spending money, do not know the correct financial management.

It is suggested that after the children go to school, they can give them pocket money every month, so that the children can learn to spend freely, but also develop the habit of accounting, which will be of great help to the formation of children’s values and consumption concept.

Therefore, if parents want their children to develop the good habit of frugality, first of all, they should cultivate their children’s financial management concept from an early age. Secondly, let the children know that their parents have earned their money through hard work, and they can also set up a reward system. For example: what kind of results achieved in the exam can be rewarded, there can be additional rewards, let the children know that they can earn pocket money by their own efforts, but also stimulate the motivation of learning.
