No.17 Chapter 5 Give children the power to make independent decisions
Chinese parents are always worried about their children. They wish they could decide everything for their children, such as what to buy, what school to go to, what kind of job to do... In fact, children have their own ideas and wishes.In terms of shopping, parents usually can only control the buying behavior of children under 3 years old. As children grow up and have their own feelings about items, they will ask to buy according to their own wishes.At this time, parents should appropriately delegate power, give children the right to make independent decisions, and exercise children's ability to handle things independently.Therefore, when children have independent needs, parents must not suppress them, they must encourage them, and they must believe in their children's vision.

Einstein once said: "The ability to develop independent thinking and judgment should always be given top priority, and the acquisition of specialized knowledge should not be given top priority." At present, developed countries have put the cultivation of children's thinking ability at the top of education, and encourage Children think creatively, solve problems independently, and make their own decisions, which is of great significance to the growth of children.

We should also allow children to develop the ability to think independently earlier, to have their own opinions, to say less to children like "remember what mother said", and let children learn to say: "I think...", this is not just language A difference in nature, which essentially means that the child has independent thinking ability and viewpoint, and is the progress of the child's thinking and judgment ability during the growth process.

Our country's educational thinking is still at the level of "listening to mother's words is a good child", which limits the development of children's self-awareness to a certain extent. In many things, they have to follow their parents' opinions instead of independent thinking. .To cultivate children's ability to make independent decisions, let them learn to say "I think..." Encourage children to express their own views and understandings, and express their own ideas and practices. Only by making breakthroughs in concepts can they be independent the behavior of.

Therefore, when parents take their children shopping, they can ask the children what they need, and then let the children choose by themselves. As long as the items chosen by the children are basically reasonable, the parents should not interfere, but should give the children trust and encouragement.If the item chosen by the child is expensive or not very practical, parents should not blame the child, but explain to the child the reason why it is best not to choose this item. This will deepen the child's understanding of reasonable consumption, and it is also a very good financial education method .
