Minimalist Living Tips: Worry Less About the Kids, Save More

To be honest, I have seriously thought about how we, as parents, should treat our children best. I saw a post on Douban some time ago. The poster complained that he worked hard to provide for his children\’s education. In the end, his children not only failed to find a job after graduating from college, but also stayed at home playing games every day. When asked, he complained about social injustice. Many netizens commented, some said, \”This is a problem with the education method\”, while others said, \”Today\’s society is difficult.\” As I watched, I couldn\’t help but wonder, what is the best way to treat them? ! 1. Children are not the private property of their parents. When many parents give birth to their children, they subconsciously feel that they should listen to them and their lives should be controlled by themselves. But in fact, children are independent individuals and they have the right to choose their own lives. What parents can do is to give them a good environment and some reasonable suggestions. The rest should be let go and let them struggle on their own. If you care too much, the child\’s life will become a copy of the parents, rather than their original work. 2. Wealth is the most solid backing for children. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. The financial status of a family determines the quality of education and future development of children to a large extent. I remember reading a piece of news before: a child from a poor family had to give up the admission notice of his dream school because his family could not afford the tuition. This makes me deeply sad: if this family could have a sufficient financial foundation, perhaps the child\’s life would have different possibilities. Wealth not only means material abundance, but also means freedom of choice. It allows children to have more opportunities to try and explore, and it allows children to make choices that are most beneficial to their own development at critical moments in life. Therefore, while paying attention to our children\’s education, we should also pay attention to our own wealth accumulation. Save more money to provide an extra layer of protection for your child’s future. 3. Teach children to manage wealth instead of simply saving money. Simply saving money is not enough, you must know how to manage it. Teach children the habit of keeping accounts from an early age so that they know where money comes from and where it goes. Cultivate their awareness of financial management, learn to spend money wisely, and invest in themselves instead of spending it carelessly. Encourage them to try entrepreneurship and slowly let them know that money is hard-earned. This is an intangible wealth that will benefit them for life as time goes by. 4. Lead by example and let children see the importance of hard work. The power of role models is infinite. Parents are children’s best mirrors, the objects for them to imitate and learn from. If parents complain about the unsatisfactory life and social injustice every day, their children will also learn to escape. If parents persist in studying, working hard, and living an active life, their children will also develop in a good direction. There is no need to talk too much, parents’ words and deeds can give their children the best guidance. 5. Give your children a minimalist living environment. When it comes to minimalism, it’s not just as simple as getting rid of items. It is an attitude towards life, learning to detach from complexity and focus on the most important things. Compare less, be less flashy, and make time to learn new knowledge and exercise a strong body. It is more meaningful to let children grow up in a peaceful and far-reaching environment than to blindly follow the trend and sign up for classes. Take less care of the children,Give them space to grow freely. Save more money to give your children both material and spiritual support.
