When children are older, they will have some things they want to buy, so they will have their own pocket money. However, some parents feel that their children are too young to manage so much money, so they never give pocket money, and some parents feel that their children don’t need pocket money at all, because the parents buy it. Most parents who do not give pocket money are still worried that they will spend it indiscriminately, but if the financial conditions are not bad, they should also give some appropriately, because children may feel inferior if they see that others have pocket money, and if they don’t have it. This is also extremely detrimental to the growth of children, but what age is appropriate?
Tongtong is 12 years old, but she has never had a chance to get money, because her mother is very strict with her, and all the food is prepared, she doesn’t have to worry about anything, and she doesn’t need to buy thing. But that day for her friend’s birthday, she asked her mother for fifty yuan and wanted to buy a gift, but her mother said that she would prepare it for her. Mom prepared a book for her friend, but Tongtong was very upset because she thought her friend would not like it, so she secretly took a hundred yuan and bought an autographed poster that her friend liked. The friend was very happy at the time. But when her mother found out, she scolded Tongtong severely and asked her to return the poster to make her remember. In the end, Tongtong chose to run away from home because she really couldn't open her mouth to ask for the poster.
In fact, when children are older, they should give some pocket money, which can also cultivate their financial management skills and enable them to better communicate with others. If there is no pocket money, children have no idea about money , I don’t know how to make money when I grow up. However, it is not enough to give it too early, but it cannot be too late. The most appropriate age should be at the age of seven or eight. At this time, just give it appropriately. Because children at this age already have a concept of money, they also have the things and food they want, and their friends are basically stable at this time, so they can better integrate with other children.
Of course, this pocket money is not given casually. Some parents have good financial conditions and their children need to give as much as they want. This has caused them to develop a habit of wasting, which has a counterproductive effect. Parents can guide their children to buy some small items so that their children can buy what they want with money,In the future, children will fight for these things and work hard to make money. At the same time, let the children choose items reasonably, not because they want face instead of buying expensive items. In addition, you can also earn your own pocket money by letting children do housework, or use them as rewards, so that children know that money is not so easy, so that children will not waste money when spending money, and will be more planned.
