Many parents will encounter such troubles when educating their children. That is, children are very sensible when they are young. How can they spend money lavishly when they grow up? Especially girls may have a mentality of comparison. For families with superior economic conditions, it is nothing for children to spend more money. But for families with poor economic conditions, this bad habit of children will inevitably bring some pressure to parents
How to educate a daughter who spends money lavishly
1. Let children know that it is not easy to make money. The child has no concept of money. He only knows that money can buy things, but he doesn't know how to earn money back. If conditions permit, you can take your children to your workplace for a day to let them see what their parents are working like. Let children know that parents need to work hard to earn money, and know that money is hard won.
2. Parents set an example and do not spend money indiscriminately. The parents' consumption view will seriously affect their children, and children will learn by watching. After a long time, you will find that children will throw slightly older things into the trash can and turn around to let you buy a new one. When children have a new toy, they must have the same or even better one. Therefore, parents should review themselves and set an example for their children. They should not waste money or spend money indiscriminately.
3. Teach children to save. Parents and children should make rules, give fixed pocket money at a fixed time every month, and specify where the pocket money should be used. Parents should also keep their promises, set rules and strictly abide by them, and say that they will pay pocket money on the same day. Even if the child has spent all the money, he cannot give the child any more money than the specified amount.
Parents should tell their children that they need money from time to time, so they should save some of it and distribute the rest reasonably. Looking at the slowly increasing balance, children will feel full of achievements and cherish the wealth accumulated through hard work.
4. Teach children to delay gratification. When a child wants to buy something on the spur of the moment, he or she can discuss with him or her: if he or she still likes it three days or a week later, he or she can buy it. In this way, children can understand whether they really want this thing.
If they really want to, parents can give some encouragement to their children to delay gratification after they buy them. When children finally get what they really want, they will get more happiness.
Reasons for children's rebellious spending
1. The temptation of new things. Before the children went to junior high school, most of them ate at home, and almost all of their daily necessities were bought by their parents. But in junior high school, many parents like to let their children buy their own daily necessities in order to cultivate their children's stronger independence.
Although this will make children more independent, children are inevitably curious about new things, big and small, and will buy many things with bright outer packaging that are actually useless. Or those fancy things that are not cost-effective.
2. Children lack self-control. Children have weak self-control due to their young age. Lack of money management ability, once you have money, you will buy things you like, and you don't know how to control. As long as you have money in your hand, you will spend it without restraint. The concept of money is vague, and parents have not played the role of supervision, thus forming the habit of spending money lavishly.
Daughter spends money recklessly regardless of parents
1. Parents can't just be satisfied. This kind of behavior of parents seems to be good to children, and it is out of concern for children. But what we need to know is that our behavior will also instill the illusion of "money is like the wind" into children. Blindly satisfying children will only encourage the unhealthy atmosphere of children's negative consequences of spending money.
So when we buy things for children, we must combine various factors to decide whether to buy or not. You can't buy less than you should, and you can't buy anything you shouldn't. Cultivating children to form such a good habit will, to a great extent, reduce their bad habit of spending money lavishly.
2. Cultivate children's correct concept of money. The lack of money awareness is also a major factor that causes children to spend money without restraint. In children's eyes, there is no concept of money. They only know that money can buy things they like, but they don't know that parents' money is not windy. We need to let children know that parents' money is also hard earned.
