Diligence is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. How to cultivate the baby's frugal habit?

Diligence and thrift are not only respect for workers who create wealth, but also respect for parents who use their hard-earned money to buy things. Diligence and thrift can not only give full play to all kinds of things at home, but also help children improve their independent living ability. But now the situation of children spending money lavishly is still quite serious, and most of the money can be saved. The money in children's hands ultimately comes from their parents. Fundamentally speaking, the waste of children is caused by poor parental restraint.

Cultivating children's frugality has been increasingly accepted by many parents. Sam Moore Walton is a rich man with $8.5 billion, but he lives in an ordinary house in a small town. He usually drives an old Ford car and wears the same work clothes as ordinary workers, and his life is equally enjoyable. His descendants are often proud of this and inherit this good family style.

Harry's grandfather, Lechfield, is the chairman of the American Lechfield consortium, and his father is the manager of a Manhattan company. His family is very rich. They not only live frugally, but also don't allow their children to be extravagant. There is a family rule in this family. When people grow up to 18, they have to take care of themselves financially. High flyers Harry, from the Economics Department of Harvard University in the United States, also went to the Manhattan Wharf in new york Port to take part in labor, and opened the crane to unload containers from the freighter. He said, "When my father was young, he was more bitter than me. When studying at Princeton University, in order to pay the high tuition, he worked as a sailor on the Mississippi River freighter every holiday, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work to complete his college studies. Although my grandfather is rich, I never want money because it is a family rule. "

In order to cultivate children's frugal habits, my advice to parents is:

● Cultivating children's awareness of diligence and thrift is the beginning of shaping good moral character. When we say that "money can't buy poverty when we are young", we don't mean to let our children live an ascetic life, but to create a frugal family environment for them to inherit the frugal virtues of the Chinese nation. Many examples of "frugality and moral cultivation" tell us that it is indispensable to cultivate children into ambitious, pursuing and promising people. This is a child's eternal wealth.

● Parents lead by example and be thrifty, which is the key to the success of education.

● Teach children to live within their means. Parents should always tell their children the truth of diligence and housekeeping, so that children can understand that a grain of rice, a drop of water and a little electricity are all earned by hard work. The expenses his parents need to provide him with food, clothing, housing and transportation are not easily earned.

● Start with small things and get into the habit of saving. First of all, we should use school supplies sparingly. Don't tear up a big piece of paper just because one or two words are wrong, and don't always break pencil lead. At the same time, we should save money in life, such as turning off the lights when people walk, using more water and taking care of clothes.
