Chapter 77 5 Correcting the Wrong Money Psychology of Children

No.16 Chapter 5 Correcting children's wrong money psychology

When children realize the importance of money, their desire for money will be stronger.At this time, they may use some methods they think of to obtain money.Some of these methods are good and worthy of encouragement, while others may be caused by deviations or mistakes in children's thinking and understanding. Once these situations are discovered, parents must correct and stop them in time to prevent children from making further mistakes.

First, get something for nothing.

Everyone has a side that longs for comfort, but children may be more straightforward. They will envy those young masters who don't have to do anything but spend a lot of money, and hope that they can also live that kind of comfortable and luxurious life.Moreover, out of love and concern for their children, some parents do all or most of the housework that their children can do.Over time, children will develop the habit of getting something for nothing and lazy and lazy.

To treat children who love leisure and hate work, parents must let them understand the truth that wealth must be obtained through labor.In normal times, parents can explain to their children that, except for those who have no ability to work, such as children, the elderly, and the disabled, everyone else should work and work in exchange for remuneration to survive; otherwise, they do not need to work to earn money. Can't live.Just like thieves, they don't want to earn money through labor, but find ways to steal other people's hard-earned money. This is illegal and people don't allow it, so uncle police will catch them and punish them.

By analyzing the facts, helping children improve their understanding, cultivating their character through labor practice, and setting an example for children through their own hard work, this is a successful experience in educating children to love labor.When children understand the principle of "no work, no gain", they can consciously respect the labor of their parents and all people, know how to cherish things and save money, and then enhance their awareness of self-reliance and self-improvement.

Second, do not return the things you find.

Has your child ever picked up someone else's things and didn't return them?Perhaps not only children, many adults have also had such behavior.Many people think that it is "pie in the sky" when they pick up other people's things, and they are lucky, so they take the things they picked up as their own.In fact, this is a kind of greed.

Human greed is terrible. If a child is greedy from an early age and only proceeds from his own interests in everything, it will have a great impact on his future development, and even lead to a big mistake.Therefore, greed is a very bad behavior, and parents should take measures to correct their children's bad psychology as soon as possible.

Parents should let their children understand that if you don’t own something, you can’t take it for yourself. If you pick up important things lost by others, others will be very anxious and sad.At this time, you can let the child think about it in another way: For example, how sad will he be when his beloved toy is stolen by other children?How dangerous would it be if the family lost the money for grandma's medical treatment, but others found it and did not return it to grandma?And so on related metaphors can play a very good role.

In addition, there is a better way, which is to encourage children to participate in group activities, such as summer camps and military training, to learn the art and fun of sharing with others, which has a good effect on the development of children's healthy personality.

In addition, when a child picks up other people's items on the street, parents should immediately accompany the child to hand over the items to the nearby police station or public security bureau.Ordinary policemen will be very pleased to praise children when they see children handing in items. This compliment is the greatest reward for children.Inspired by this kind of reward, children will naturally realize that picking up money is a virtue, and then restrain their behavior, realizing that picking up things is still a mistake.
