Parents are rich, how can children understand the psychological relationship between their parents’ money and assets and their own growth?
In this regard, the practice of some Western millionaires is worth learning from Chinese parents. Unlike what we call “no matter how poor you can’t have poor children”, Westerners advocate “no matter how rich you can’t have rich children”. The rich realize that giving children a natural sense of financial superiority is harmful to their growth. No benefit.
They usually only give their children a small amount of pocket money, and encourage them to work and earn money by themselves, so as to let the children understand that the acquisition of money is not easy; valuable wealth must be accumulated by their own efforts, and the process of accumulating wealth may be more valuable than wealth itself.
Therefore, parents can usually take their children to their workplaces and tell them about their entrepreneurial history, so that children can gradually understand that money is not a matter of course, and it takes hard work to obtain it. Children have the belief to “cherish what they have in their hands”.
At the same time, lead children to contact social life and go deep into social reality, so that they can understand that modern society is a competition of knowledge and ability. Only by mastering knowledge and improving ability can they be in an invincible position in society. By stimulating children’s learning motivation and correcting their learning motivation, they can gradually get rid of the wrong idea that “learning is for parents, it doesn’t matter if it is good or not”.
