Teach children to be happy, not rich. Let them know that a person’s value is not in what they have or don’t have on the outside, but in what they have inside. Show him to develop good strategies and skills to help him understand who they are in the world.
This education in values and emotions will support their success as individuals and as a society, so if a child knows how to set limits and respect himself, he can do the same with others.
- Therefore.
- If we want to harvest.
- We will have to sow the field and try to avoid giving value or importance to something without applying morally appropriate principles.
For this, we can take advantage of your ignorance and not damage your innocence; For example, for a child who does not yet understand money management, a small coin is more valuable than a bill. Why? Because the pieces amuse you, they can rotate, they can simulate a purchase, etc.
That is, children settle for everything that gives them love, fun and support, we are the ones who teach them that value is in price and not in intentions, possibilities or affection.
However, we usually do it by chance, with the simple gesture of giving more importance or relevance to what we think is more important, beautiful or fun.
In short, the goal is for the child to understand that it is people who have the primary role in their life, not their property, in the same way, to understand that the important thing behind everything they are trying to do is intent. effort.
It’s hard not to make mistakes along the way when you live in a world that moves very well in terms of money, yet we assume that we all want our children to be happy.
So because true happiness comes true with love, shared experiences, love and understanding, the most important thing is that we help our children give everything so that they understand that the reward is in them.
We offer some simple ideas to encourage you to learn the value of things from an early age:
It is very important that the child has a box of objects that catch his attention during his walks in the street, in the park or in the forest, that is, the idea is that he has a place to store these sticks, stones, pineapples, leaves, flowers that have caught their attention and that they find attractive.
We are so used to going to the store to buy anything, that we no longer even make postcards or birthday cards, crafts will help us to end this materialistic addiction, always rewarding effort with the gratitude and happiness of others.
By creating a personal seal, we will make everything unique and irreplaceable. In other words, when a toy breaks, what will replace it cannot have the same meaning.
Do you deserve?Recompensas. No it is appropriate to buy to buy (or give to give) simply because we love them, because they ask us for this or because they like it, everything has to have a positive meaning in addition to the material.
? Give an example. If kids see you work hard and appreciate what you’ve got, they’ll understand it’s a positive thing and take it more easily.
? Reward your efforts; that is, by fostering commitment and giving importance to every small gain. In that sense, we must insist on every small decision by which they see the effort as a way to achieve what they want.
? Review the clearest situations about it and do it on a daily basis, that is, simplify the values and place them as protagonists whenever you can, in this way the child will be able to identify with them and this will help bring the learning to themselves.
? It is always positive to incorporate stories and stories, since they are very useful tools when it comes to implementing values, they make them think and adapt their feelings to themselves and to the real world.
Remember that if we are not satisfied with what we have, we will not be with what we lack, because the true value and the best reward is in what belongs to our essence and that is kept in the closet of our heart.
