The donation is to let the people in the disaster areas and poverty-stricken areas feel the warmth of the motherland's big family, so that they know that the whole country is with them, love is priceless, can not be measured by money, but you can exercise the child's financial management skills in the process of donation.
One day at noon after school, Xiaolong said to his mother, "Mom, the teacher said let's donate to the Hope Primary School!" Mom said, "That's good, donate to the children in poor mountainous areas, so they can afford to study!"
Small Dragon then said, "Yes, the teacher said those poor children, they don't even have a school bag, and they don't even have socks to wear on their feet, so poor!" Mom said, "Yes, they are poor, but they want to study, so let's help them!" The son said again, "Mom, so how much do we donate?"
Mom said, "You donate all your pocket money!" The son said, "I'm almost out of pocket money this month! Mom, give me some more!" Mom said, "No, you figure it out yourself." The son left raised Hui Hui's sense of independence.
(2) Let the child to discover the life of the opportunity to earn money
Life has a lot of let the child to earn their own pocket money opportunities, the children are not lack of courage and strength, they just need a little bit of the right guidance from parents.
Tong Tong's family is very well-off, but his parents give him very little pocket money because they always tell him that he has to earn money by his own labor, and since he can't do anything right now, his pocket money is naturally small. One day, his mom said to Tong Tong, "Son, don't you want to have more pocket money? You can try this way."
"What way?" The little boy asked eagerly.
"We have a lot of drink bottles in the garbage bins here, you can pick them up and sell them."
In this way, Tong Tong used his free time to pick up beverage bottles, and sometimes went to the neighbor's home to buy. By selling bottles, the boy has earned a small fortune.
Perhaps some parents may think, the family is not lack of money, I will not let the child to do so "disgraceful" work. In fact, this idea is wrong, think of it is to educate a child from childhood love of labor, know how to use their own pay for harvest, is a dishonorable thing? Therefore, parents should know that artificially stifling the idea of children making money is tantamount to sowing the seeds of incompetence in a child's life.
(3) Let your child do some chores and guide him to earn money
Son Mengmeng has been asking his dad for money since he started first grade: "I want a dollar to buy ice cream." "I want to buy watercolors, give me three dollars." ...... asked for money every day. One day dad got impatient and told him in a serious manner, "If you want money, earn it yourself."
"But I will not ah." Mengmeng said aggrieved.
"You can help your parents do some of the work you can do ah, such as taking out the garbage, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, these can earn money."
"This can also earn money ah? Great." Mengmeng was very interested in this fresh agreement.
However, one day, Mengmeng said to his father again, "Dad, I worked for half a day, tired and sore back only get two dollars, how can I make more money with less effort?"
Thinking right and left, finally he thought he could sell the old toys, and then took a few beloved books to school.
When he came back from school, Xiaolong said, "Mom, today the school organized a bazaar, and a lot of parents also went, then I sold my old toys to them and donated all the money!" Mom said happily, "Xiao Long is doing great, have learned to deal with their surplus assets!"
Nowadays, although the country is strong, but there are still a lot of people living below the poverty line, donations to children in poor areas can not only cultivate children's love but also properly exercise the children's financial management skills.
So, parents should strongly support their children's donation activities. But parents should also grasp the scale of the donation.
(1) Donation is not a blind comparison
Small Qiang's class organized a donation for the poor mountain children, he saw other students donated 50 yuan, 100 yuan, but his father was laid off two years ago, the family did not have the extra money to donate, for which he moped, and even developed an inferiority complex! Mom asked the reason, said to him: "Son, if you have the ability later, no matter how much you want to donate can be, but now you're just a student, as long as there is this heart on the line. You have to know how to do your best to help others when they are in trouble, so it is also a kind of help, and love is priceless, it can not be measured by money."
(2) Donating the proceeds of one's own labor is the most valuable
Small Kwon's school organized students to donate to the disaster area, small Kwon responded to the school's call to return home to his mother to ask for money, his mother asked him, "Where is your own pocket money?" "I spent ten dollars on stationery the other day, and fifty yesterday on gifts for my classmates, so it's all spent." Mom said, "This is the result of people usually do not pay attention to financial management, tell you how many times, good steel should be used on the blade, this time I can lend you, but you have to pay your labor! Every day you have to help your mom to do the housework to pay back the bill!" In fact, it is not that mom wants Xiaoquan to associate money with housework, but to make him understand that he is responsible for what he does, so that he understands that only by paying will he be able to reap the rewards.
(3) Donations reap the interest of a loving and noble soul in the general concept, donations is a gift, is to help, in addition to no other meaning. But to plant this belief in the heart of the child: as long as you are happy to do good, it will certainly return to you, which is the profit of the donation, the profit of the good idea. Let the child understand that charity for the purpose of demonstrating self-superiority is not charity, but an insult. A true donation does not require a return, much less a note that the other party is the one being given. Let him realize that the greatest profit from donations is the harvest of noble souls.
