No.16 Chapter 1 Teach children to know money and appreciate the value of money

People's interest in money can be said to be innate, and children are no exception.Under the influence of their parents or society, they gradually form their own understanding of money.However, if there is no correct guidance, children's spontaneous understanding of money may be biased. Therefore, parents should seize some opportunities in life, teach children to know money as early as possible, appreciate the value of money, and guide children to establish a correct view of money.

Child psychology research shows that, in general, three-year-olds can tell the difference between bills and coins; four-year-olds can understand that money can buy things; and five-year-olds can figure out how much each coin is and count small numbers Some children still know how much one yuan is equal to, and five yuan is equal to several one yuan; when they are six or seven years old, they can see the prices of commodities in the supermarket clearly, and they also have the ability to use money. Money can buy things, and I can buy some small commodities I like by myself.

Therefore, from the age of three, parents should consciously teach their children about money.First of all, let children be able to distinguish money from other toys, know that money is divided into two types, coins and banknotes, and teach children to recognize the value of currency.First bring a few coins and banknotes of different denominations, and tell the children that money is divided into two types: coins and banknotes. The round metal pieces are coins, and the exquisite floral papers are banknotes. Coins and banknotes In fact, the purpose is the same, you can buy things.

After children know money, they can teach them to know the value of currency.Collect all 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 1 cent, 5 cents and 1 yuan coins, put them in front of the children, and teach the children to distinguish different coins according to their color, size and weight, such as the weight of yuan coins and coins Large and large in size, coins of different denominations also have different patterns.At the same time, parents can also teach their children the numbers from 1 to 10, as well as the Chinese characters "yuan", "jiao" and "fen".

After children are familiar with the face value of coins, it is time to let them know the actual value they represent.For children who are still relatively young and new to money, parents can prepare some coins of different denominations, print out several coin patterns on paper, and mark the amount under the pattern, so that children can see it more clearly , and then cut them out respectively.

Next, you can associate these coin patterns marked with specific amounts with toys or snacks that your child likes. The actual price of the lollipop, such as 2 yuan, paste the two 1 yuan coin patterns that were cut out after rubbing just now, or you can paste a 1 yuan pattern and two 5 jiao patterns, and strengthen in the process Children's "equivalence concept" awareness.In this way, the child can intuitively know the actual price of each item.

For older children, parents can create some conditions for children to personally experience the true meaning of the value of money.For example, if you take your children to the supermarket, you can give them some change and let them buy their favorite items. In the process of shopping, they will naturally have a sense of the value of the goods, know how much an ice cream is, and buy an ice cream. Money can probably buy a few pencils... Through these activities, children will naturally have more and more personal feelings about the quantity and function of money.

In short, it is of great significance for children to understand the concept of money and everything related to money as early as possible for their future growth and to cultivate a correct outlook on money.
