When the economy goes down, take care of your children less and save more

I met a colleague in the elevator at work today and asked me if I had enrolled Dabao in an English class. I remember her daughter was 2 and a half years old. She said that the one-on-one courses she is currently enrolled in cost more than 200 per class. I said I didn’t apply, I had no time, no energy, and no money. Since my second child, I have had an epiphany about chicken babies. Chickens don’t move. The only thing I keep is reading every day. I personally believe that reading is the best spiritual nourishment. It is to use words to experience the unknown world and explore the mysteries brought by knowledge. Now, when Dabao encounters a problem, if we can\’t find the answer, we will work out a solution together, or open the four thick \”Chinese Children\’s Encyclopedias\” at home to find the answer. Regarding the chicken baby, Xiao Xi believes that learning should be done slowly and not too hard, as long as you keep on the path of positive input. We are 35+ and have already left campus. Aren’t we still improving ourselves? Instead of worrying about chicken babies, worry about catching up. It is better to be strict with yourself, teach by example, practice skills, and increase your self-esteem. 1. Talk about choosing milk powder for your second child. I heard by chance that organic milk is good for your child. Then I started doing my homework and choosing. Finally, I decided on an organic milk powder and bought it, but my child wouldn’t drink it. 😓Finally, I drank the brand of milk powder that Dabao drank at that time. After a long circle, we are back to the starting point. For a moment, I felt like I was messing around. In addition, I would like to talk about the fact that the second baby is tired of milk and does not drink milk at 5 months. Then, I was so anxious that I couldn\’t sleep, worrying about various developments. Later, the doctor said it was normal and she would wait for her to transition naturally. Group friends say that if you don’t eat, you will be hungry. When you are hungry, you will eat naturally. In fact, it is true that the child is not stupid, he really eats by himself when he is hungry. It is the old mother who is meddling in her own business. Xiao Xi now feels that we should be lazy from time to time. Children have their own growth rhythm and do not need excessive intervention from us. Yesterday at breakfast, my teammates served me a large bowl of porridge. I said I couldn’t finish it. Dabao came and said: \”Mom, you can drink as much as you can, don\’t force yourself.\” Haha, this is what I often say to him, and he gives it to me in turn. This is the rhythm of raising a baby, follow his heart and his nature, we can just watch him, and we can just pull him when needed. 2. Strictly control yourself. Last night, I made a video to my mother and learned that my eldest niece was beaten again because she secretly looked at her phone while doing homework. 😂 My cell phone was smashed by my sister-in-law. Is this a strange little girl? I personally think that it is not entirely to blame, because whatever the adults do, the children will do the same. I remembered that my niece’s mother was looking at her cell phone while eating. My niece’s father, reading novels after dinner. The eldest niece and the second niece were playing around and if they found it too noisy, they gave them a cell phone to keep them quiet for a while. Over time, I became addicted to mobile phones, and I couldn’t quit even if I wanted to. When I was doing my homework, I naturally wanted to take a peek. As adults, we still want to touch our mobile phones from time to time, so don’t blame the children too much. The most effective change is from ourselves. 3. Improve yourself Yesterday, a friend gave me a large mooncake with red bean and taro paste. After my teammates cut it, Dabao took it and ate it. Then, he ran to the study and told me, Mom, stop studying and take a break to eat moon cakes. I responded: \”Mom, finish reading this paragraph.\” After hearing what I said, the little guy\’s forehead twisted, \”Mosquito? Finished reading Mosquito? Aren\’t you afraid of her biting you?\” I was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.. I have always believed in the power of teaching by example. Sometimes I talk a lot with earnest words, but the children don’t absorb it. Whatever you do, he is watching and will follow suit slowly. Before going to bed last night, Dabao said: \”Mom, you get up early tomorrow to study and ask me to get up and clock in and do the Ten Methods.\” Today, before I woke up, the young man got up and told me to get up. It\’s true that the early bird catches the worm. eat. Then let’s work hard together and strive to make ourselves shine. 4. Save money, the more the better. As soon as a child is born, he is called a \”walking money shredder.\” It’s true that parents make money and children spend it. As soon as a child has a need, his parents need to step in immediately. How can it be achieved by just exchanging money for one person? The important thing is that the money is in place. For example, on Children\’s Day in Dabao, the theme of the kindergarten activity is \”Children of 56 ethnic groups get together\”, and each child is required to buy an ethnic minority costume. What to do, buy it. Compare, rent and buy at the same price, buy buy buy! So, we have to save money, save money. However, no matter how much money you have, you can spend it all. The key point is to consume rationally and buy less commercial items. If your children want something, they have to spend the corresponding money. Is there an alternative solution that has the same effect? For example, Dabao wants to take a calligraphy class, and I happen to have been practicing calligraphy. Can we practice together and save money on enrolling in the class? Dabao wants to go to the amusement park. Outdoor parks are now equipped with amusement facilities. I have found 3 parks near my home. Let’s go to one by one. Last week, our family went to a large lakeside lawn near our home to set up a small tent and play in the playground on the lawn. Did we save money on shopping malls and playgrounds? Dabao had been buying original picture books at that time, and each book cost dozens of yuan, which was really a lot of money. The books we now run in the online picture book library include 3 Dabao books and 3 Erbao books, which are changed once a week, which is beautiful and saves money on buying picture books. Really, life should be lived carefully. Money needs to be saved in every detail.
