Children love to eat food
One day, I went to the market to buy food, and when I passed the fruit stall, I saw a little girl sitting on the ground and crying. The little girl's mother pointed her finger at her and reprimanded her: "You don't read well, you just know how to eat all day long, don't you know that? How expensive are these prunes? It costs ten dollars a catty!" The lady got angrier and angrier, and aggressively picked up the little girl from the ground and dragged the child away from the fruit stall. She also counted the child as she walked away, "Why don't you get lost, don't embarrass yourself here." It seems that the child wanted to eat prunes, but her mother was too expensive to pay for her to eat them!
In fact, for ten dollars a catty of prunes, parents are not reluctant to buy, just the lack of consumer concepts. If we think about it this way: a dollar or two is not expensive, ah, to buy two dollars for the child to taste is not good? It is not so bad that the child is so sad and crying! I think it's most cost-effective to try to meet your children's needs when they're young, because the younger they are, the easier and more cost-effective it is to meet them. A sticker for 50 cents, a candy cane for a dollar, a popsicle for two dollars will keep kids happy for a long time!
Son Lele especially loved strawberries when he was little. Once, I took him to the supermarket to buy something. We passed by a fruit store and there were all kinds of fruits on the counter that caught our eyes, including fragrant and sweet mangoes, red apples, pearly grapes, big and sweet peaches and so on. Lele walked up to the counter and touched this one and looked at that one. Suddenly, he picked up a strawberry and said to me, "Mom, I haven't eaten strawberries for a long time, I want to eat them so much!" I asked the shopkeeper how much strawberries cost per catty. The shopkeeper told me 30 dollars a catty. When I heard the price, it was indeed a bit hard to accept. Looking at Lele's expectant eyes, in order to satisfy his taste buds, I had to spend 15 dollars to buy half a catty for him. Unexpectedly, Lele carried the bag containing strawberries for the whole morning and could not put it down. He ate one every now and then, and sometimes gave me or his dad one too.
In fact, children's hearts are easily satisfied, and they are happiest when they are satisfied when they need it most. On the contrary, if you keep denying your children when they want it most, by the time you want to give it to them in the future, they will have long since stopped wanting it. Even doubling up and giving it to them will do nothing to warm their cold hearts.
I've read an article where a family was traveling and the kids wanted all sorts of things on the road, and everyone thought the kids were really good at spending money. But when they did the math afterward, the child spent less than a fraction of what each of them spent. Parents are very ashamed, think the child is a part of the family, go out to travel, should have been in the budget to spend a sum of money for the child to spend, how can because the child to buy a few things, said the child spend money? I think if parents had this kind of realization, there would be a lot fewer children in the world who are attacked because of a little need!
If we raise our children richly, they will easily gain a sense of value; if we keep raising them poorly, even if they gain a lot of value in the future, they will still feel that they don't deserve to have it, so the children who are raised richly, naturally win at the starting line.
