How to cultivate children's virtue of diligence and thrift

Hard work and plain living, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and they are also the guidelines for cultivating children's basic qualities. However, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, parents give their only children the greatest satisfaction in all aspects, often giving them whatever they want, trying to satisfy them as much as possible, and even trying to create conditions for unconditional satisfaction. As a result, children's concept of saving is seriously lacking, and the bad habits of extravagance and waste have become a common practice. Therefore, to establish children's frugality consciousness, we should start from their deep heart, change their misconceptions, educate them to start from small things, start from details, start from themselves, save small money and turn it into big money, and at the same time cooperate with parents to urge children to turn frugality into conscious action.

Specific practices are as follows:

1. The concept of thrift cannot be ignored.

The idea is teaching, no pains, no gains. At all times and in all countries, there are many touching stories about thrift around us, which are good materials for educating children. Consciously choose some touching stories to tell children, so that children can form a healthy consumption psychology and a habit of careful calculation. From the resource crisis of the earth to the excessive consumption of human beings, from the hard work of parents to the laziness of some children, from students' love of labor and thrift to laziness and serious waste, children can deeply feel the importance of thrift in the comparison of several groups of cases-thrift is not only to save something that seems insignificant to us, but more importantly, to dedicate their love and virtue to our parents, others, the country and mankind.

2. Diligence and thrift should start with daily trifles.

Savings is a broad concept. By comparing and reflecting on the facts of water and electricity shortage in countless places and the random waste around them, we can strengthen children's understanding of the importance of water and electricity, participate in the activities of saving water and electricity advocated by society, educate children to save water and electricity consciously, turn off the tap and turn off the lights, and actively stop others from wasting water and electricity.

In view of the messy situation of children's exercise books and daily necessities, it is necessary to reasonably inspire children to understand the hardships, and educate students not to tear and fold paper planes casually, so that they will not instinctively throw away what they have written, and they can collect and nail together what has not been used up. It is a new exercise book, which can guide children to calculate the opposite math problems and make full use of them. If the pencil is short, you can put on a ballpoint pen cap and continue to use it. Take good care of public books and facilities; Minimize material loss; Save the use of clean and hygienic tools, such as brooms, to prolong the service life. Guide children not to litter, and pay attention to classified delivery. Waste materials that can be used should be collected, and those that can be sold should be saved to buy school supplies. Advocate careful planning, moderate consumption, cherish every grain, eat as much as you can at meals, don't throw away leftovers, and cultivate good living habits; Teach children not to blindly compare, not to pursue enjoyment, not to consume excessively, to learn how to survive and how to support themselves through labor.

3. Develop a good habit of thrift.

Diligence and thrift are virtues, and everyone is responsible. Diligence depends largely on family behavior, so parents should communicate and cooperate with their children. From changing parents' educational concept, from how to cultivate children's self-reliance, hard-working spirit and financial management ability, as well as the poor self-care ability, poor hard-working spirit, lavish spending and excessive doting among children. Parents are required to let their children participate in all kinds of labor in daily life, let them know that labor creates wealth and let them develop the good habit of thrift. Advocate parents to give their children pocket money in a planned way, guide children to spend less in high-end places, and encourage children to spend money in meaningful places. Don't encourage children to spend lavishly, and help them form a healthy consumption psychology. We should care about and ask children about their spending on pocket money, and teach them how to manage money. Even if the family is rich, don't squander it, so that children can form a good habit of careful calculation.

In short, cultivating children's good habit of saving is not only to save money, but also to save energy and cultivate good social customs. We need everyone to start from themselves and the things around them and change the wasteful habits we are used to. Only in this way can our next generation really develop a good atmosphere of glorious labor, shameful laziness and shameful waste, and only in this way can children and the whole society really develop a conscious sense of thrift.
