In one's life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
Not learning to keep accounts, but understanding that "value comes from labor."
Not "teach him to manage money," but "let him know: everything he gets is behind others' time and labor."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· The child has never seen his parents work
· Thinks money is "brought out of the phone"
· Has never exchanged anything for labor
Capital Theory / Economics
The most basic principle of Capital Theory: value comes from labor time. Letting a child work once, sell something once, or provide a service once is more useful than explaining "money is not easy to earn" a hundred times——because labor will make him personally understand "how much an hour is worth."
This is not financial literacy education, but value cognition. Once he knows that things are behind people's time, he will not waste them easily.
Know that things are not easy to come by
Respect labor
Do not waste
What to look at
Whether there has been an experience of labor · Can say the source of something
How to judge
Whether there has been anything exchanged for labor by oneself; whether one can say who made something
Health status
≥1 labor experience · Can say the origin of items
Only say "it's not easy to earn money"——no sense of experience
Do housework for money——turn family responsibility into a transaction
Don't let children touch money at all——he will think money is natural
Use money to reward and punish academic performance——turn learning into a trade
Conceal the real situation of the family——he will make up his own explanation
Take him to your workplace (even if it's just to see)
Let him do real labor: sell old things, help neighbors, distribute flyers
Let him calculate: how many hours, how much, how much per hour
When buying things, say "who made this"
Tell him: everything you use is the time of others
