Should first-grade children have pocket money?
Some parents may wonder, "Is it too early for a child to get in touch with money when he's still so young?" What they need, we as parents can buy on their behalf. However, this view is not comprehensive. In fact, giving children some pocket money appropriately is a good opportunity to educate children about "financial intelligence", and the way this process is implemented is also very knowledgeable
In today's prevalence of digital transactions, whether it is shopping, paying bills or transferring money, most of us adults are accustomed to one-click operation through mobile phones, but for first-grade children who have just begun to understand the world, this electronic transaction form lacks sufficient affinity and intuitiveness.
The mere change of numbers displayed on the mobile phone screen does not allow children to truly understand the process of money transactions, not to mention that in most schools, elementary school students are not allowed to carry mobile phones. Therefore, we should give our children pocket money in the form of banknotes or coins, and the real renminbi can help them establish their initial perception and understanding of money from an early age.
Since it is the child's pocket money, it is best to keep and dispose of it by themselvesIn this process, our role is to guide the child in daily life to understand what money should be spent and what should not be spent
Think about our own childhood, that little piggy bank full of hope, how many of our initial expectations and dreams carried, isn't it also a good memory of our growing up? When children own and manage their pocket money, they also develop self-management and planning skills
It was also during a recent family outing that my family's Lebao was attracted by a beautifully packaged snack in a small supermarket. I thought he would come to me to beg me to buy, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask the clerk**, and after learning that the product was more expensive, he chose a **moderate snack by himself, and handed over the banknote to complete the transaction, and did not forget to remind the clerk to find the change. At that moment, I really felt very relieved and proud, this is undoubtedly a vivid and precious example of financial intelligence education, so that children can intuitively feel and learn the value of RMB in real situations, and my children are already slowly learning how to deal with money issues independently.
The understanding of the renminbi is actually in the teaching plan of Lebao's math teacher for the next semester, theoretical knowledge is important, but practical experience is even more crucial. Let children know how to manage money from an early age, starting from the contact with physical money, and gradually establish the concept of financial management, which is an important enlightenment for their ability to live independently in the future
The children in the first grade are in the stage of rapid cognitive development, and they are quietly growing up every dayTherefore, giving first-grade children an appropriate amount of pocket money in kind not only helps them to truly feel and understand the renminbi in life, but also is an effective practice of their financial education
As for how to spend the money, we can provide appropriate guidance on the side, and finally the children themselves will decide, an excellent opportunity for financial education for parents and children, don't miss it.
