New Year's money is a traditional Chinese custom, usually given by the elders to the younger ones during the New Year, a kind of red envelope that means blessings and good luck. However, there has been a lot of controversy about whether or not a child's New Year's money should be deposited by their parents. This article will go through why children's New Year's money should not be deposited by their parents and make some sound suggestions.
First of all, the children's New Year's money is their own property and should be managed and disposed of by themselves. Although parents can give guidance and advice to their children, they should respect their children's wishes and rights, and do not forcibly interfere with their children's use of New Year's money. Allowing children to manage their own money can cultivate their financial awareness and sense of responsibility, and improve their self-management and planning skills.
Second, a child's New Year's money should not be seen as an additional burden or income by parents. Some parents may deposit their children's New Year's money into their own accounts or divert it for other purposes, which not only violates the rights and interests of their children, but also makes them feel distrustful and disgusted. Parents should set an example, establish correct values and consumption concepts, and guide their children to treat New Year's money rationally and not pursue luxury and vanity.
So, how to deal with your child's New Year's money reasonably? Here are some suggestions:
1.Establish a bank account: You can open a separate bank account for your child and deposit your New Year's money into it. This will allow children to understand the concept of saving and develop their financial habits.
2.Make a budget plan: Parents can work with their children to create a budget plan and plan for the use of their money. This allows children to understand how to allocate funds wisely and develop their planning and budgeting skills.
3.Use it for meaningful things: You can use your child's New Year's money for something meaningful, such as donating to charity, buying school supplies, etc. This allows children to learn to care for others, give back to society, and cultivate their gratitude and dedication.
4.Invest in education**: You can invest in your child's education** to lay the foundation for their future development. This allows children to understand the concept of investment and develop their financial thinking and planning skills.
5.For family expenses: If the family's financial conditions allow, the child's New Year's money can be used for family expenses, such as travel, entertainment, etc. This allows children to understand the family's financial situation and develop a sense of family responsibility and cooperation.
In short, the children's New Year's money is their own property and should be managed and disposed of by themselves. Parents should respect their children's rights and wishes, and handle their children's New Year's money reasonably. By setting up a bank account, creating a budget plan, using it for something meaningful, investing in education**, or spending it on household expenses, you can develop your child's financial awareness and responsibility, and improve their self-management and planning skills. At the same time, parents should also set an example, establish correct values and consumption concepts, and guide their children to treat New Year's money rationally and not pursue luxury and vanity. This can not only protect the rights and interests of children, but also promote the healthy growth and development of children.
