This life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
Skills, habits, attention — these three are more valuable than red envelopes
It's not about 'how to save money', but 'how much of what he accumulates in this period will remain in 20 years'.
Verification Signals (count as verified if two or more are met):
· No sustained practice of skills except for learning
· Attention is heavily occupied by screens
· Red envelopes are fully managed by parents with no explanation
Definition of Assets
This age's true assets are three:
① Skills — something that can be continuously practiced (writing, drawing, music, programming, sports all count), which will increase in value over time
② Habits — the ability to persist in one thing, more valuable than the skill itself
③ Attention — this is the most scarce asset in this era, and it's gone if eaten up by screens
Red envelopes are just practice questions, the real accumulation is in these three.
He has a skill that he can show off
He can concentrate his attention
He understands that money can be saved

Skill practice time · Screen time · Proportion of self-saving
How to calculate
Record how many hours of skill practice per week; how many hours of screen time per day; how much of the allowance is saved
Healthy Range
Skill ≥3 hours/week · Screen ≤1.5 hours/day · Savings ≥30%
Spending all the time on tutoring classes — Skills need to be practiced by oneself, not taught
Allowing screens — Once attention is fragmented, it's hard to come back
Full management of red envelopes — The child doesn't learn to "save"
Learning a little of everything — Nothing can be "showcaseable"
Only looking at grades — Grades are a filter, skills are output
Choose one thing he can persist in, practice for 3 hours every week for three years
Divide the red envelope into three parts: spend / save / give, so he can see the "saved part increase"
Limit screen time every day, and use the saved time for skills
Don't pursue "multi-talented", pursue "one thing showcaseable"
Let him manage a small part of the money, and don't compensate for mistakes
