After work that day, I bought a new dress for my child on my way home. The baby is very excited and unwilling to take it off. The mother-in-law teased the child: "Look at a lot of clothes you bought recently. How about getting one for me? " The child said, "My mother bought this for me, too. Grandma wears it herself. " My mother-in-law said, "But I didn't. Who can buy it? " After listening, the child jumped out of bed and ran to me: "mom buys, mom buys!" " "I asked my son," Mom has no money. How can I buy it? "The child took out his mobile phone and said," Buy it with a mobile phone, no money! " "I was confused at the time: with a mobile phone? No money? Ask your child how to buy a mobile phone first.
The child said: scan the QR code and show it to the big sister in the store. Just drop! Are you shocked? Nowadays, everything can be paid by mobile. Every time I go out to buy things, the children only see my mother's mobile phone swept and the things are taken back. As a result, in the eyes of children, we have to use mobile phones to buy things, and we don't have to spend money! Children have no concept of money, no concept of saving money, and no concept of creating financial awareness. So some parents are very conservative: they can't give their children pocket money. Feeling that children don't understand the value of money, they spend it casually and waste their hard-earned money in vain.
However, children will eventually grow up and learn how to use the money. Therefore, children's pocket money is definitely important, but how should it be given? How much is appropriate? There are many exquisite things here. In the final analysis, what is the purpose and significance of giving children pocket money? What they want to train is money planning and application. So I suggest that children can start giving pocket money when they go to primary school.
How much is appropriate? Overseas authoritative experts suggest that you can give me a few dollars according to the age of the child. For example, a five-year-old child can get a weekly allowance from 5 yuan. Then my suggestion is: from the time the children go to kindergarten, they can pay 5- 10 yuan every week. As mentioned above, parents should not pay attention to giving their children pocket money, but should scientifically arrange how much pocket money to give their children and how to guide their children to manipulate pocket money reasonably and accurately. This is the most important thing!
