Mother suspected her daughter puppy love, steal the child drawer, found that baby pocket money comparable to a few months of living expenses

Nowadays, most parents dote on their children very much and give them a lot of extra pocket money while meeting their needs at any time. As a result, they have their own “small bank” at a young age. Among them, some “small Treasury” amount of large, let the parents surprised.

It used to be nice to have money, to buy school supplies, or whatever it is that a child loves. However, parents worry that their children are not sensible and don’t have the right concept of money. They may spend money randomly, buy random things, or play truant and indulge in games, which runs counter to their original intention. In real life, such worries are not unnecessary.

Susan has a beautiful and clever daughter. She has just entered the second grade of junior high school this year. She not only does well in school, but also is very sensible and obedient.

Recently, Susan noticed some changes in her daughter. She did not talk as much as before and often bought some things home. After dinner, he immediately returned to his room, where a person quietly fiddled with something, which seemed extremely mysterious.

Out of curiosity, Susan peeked at her daughter’s movements several times and found her tossing and turning in her desk drawer. After her daughter left home for school, Chen entered her daughter’s room and found an unlocked “treasure chest” in a drawer. Worried about her daughter’s puppy love, she hesitated a little and opened the box. She found a lipstick and a thick stack of renminbi inside.

Originally, the daughter has the consciousness of the love of beauty, he is secretly dressed up, this is not out of line, finally relieved.

However, seeing her daughter’s “treasure bank”, Susan’s heart turned upside down. It was comparable to several months ‘living expenses for the whole family, so she immediately took a photo and posted it on her moments, showing it off for her friends to envy.

Why do children have more pocket money?

Now the living conditions are better, the more satisfactory the day is, many parents will give their children pocket money, especially in the one-child family, the love for their children will be reflected in money.

This money can come from many sources and ways:

First of all, during the Spring Festival, out of tradition and care for the younger generation, the elders often give out “bet money” to the children. Secondly, for the children who get good grades in the exam, parents will reward them to varying degrees to show encouragement and commendation. Finally, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of children to do housework and cultivate their practical ability, parents will give their children a certain amount of labor remuneration. These small money after a long time accumulated, imperceptibly, into a large number of considerable “wealth”.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for children to have pocket money?

The child has an allowance. Some parents may or may not know the amount.

Most parents believe that as their children grow up, it is necessary to have a little bit of money on them, and that it belongs to them. They trust their children not to keep it, but to give it to them as they please.

Some children more sensible, according to the requirements of their parents, the money for learning and social, but some children due to lack of self-control, money does not have a correct understanding, coupled with the temptation of the outside world is larger, easy to go astray.

For example, some fall in love at school, buy things randomly, some often use the Internet or make bad friends, will affect children’s energy, lead to distraction in study, and even affect their life.

Therefore, to some extent, having money is both a good thing and a bad thing for children. The key is to cultivate the right attitude towards money.

How can we teach our children the right ideas about money?

Be open about your family’s financial situation

Not all families have money, and not all children have large amounts of pocket money, and each child’s financial situation determines how much.

Many parents think that it is unnecessary for their child to know the family’s economic situation because he is not old enough, which will affect his study and life.

In fact, letting your child know the income and expenses of the family will help him to establish a correct view of consumption and realize that from a practical standpoint, he will not develop extravagant spending habits. At the same time, I know that the world is difficult and that it is not easy for my parents to make money. I will also push myself to study hard and repay my parents for their upbringing.

Control the amount of allowance appropriately

When a child is older, especially in adolescence, he or she will make some friends. For the purpose of making friends, he or she should have some pocket money, but the amount should not be too large, especially not beyond the status of a student.

Some children know that the family is relatively rich, often ask their parents to buy brand-name clothes and high-end mobile phones, which is too much, not to mention that there is no need to spend too much money, but also inconsistent with the identity and requirements of students, easy to let children form a bad habit of comparison, adverse to their growth.

Therefore, in the face of children’s improper requirements, parents should know how to refuse, can not easily meet, once allowed this behavior, there will be more excessive requirements.

Encourage children to earn their own money

Children grow up to need money, in addition to parents to give pocket money, but also through summer jobs, housework and other ways, with their own hard work and efforts to earn money.

A

In this way, I can not only integrate into the society as soon as possible, reflect and test my ability, but also reduce some economic pressure for my parents. More importantly, after knowing the hardship of making money, I know how to cherish and restrain myself more, and become a person with a sense of thrift.

In Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, many young people will use their skills to earn extra money.

As the child is young, lack of social experience, especially lack of right and wrong judgment ability, no specific concept of money.

Therefore, in the growth of children, parents should not only care about their life and study, but also pay attention to their “three views” education, so that they can set up a correct outlook on life, values and consumption, use their pocket money on the right way, and become a good child with love in heart and thrift in hand.
