- Even if the family does not need money, it is necessary to artificially create a deficit, not buying things on demand. And if the child broke or lost smartphoneFor some time, use a cheap button phone only for calls.
- Do not gloat or mock the child, but sympathize with the fact that he will have to do with the “ancient bell” for a long time. However, keep your word and buy a new phone only at the end of the agreed period.
- It is best when an expensive item is at least partially bought with the money of the child. Then he is more likely to appreciate it. And if the child wanted an expensive phone, it would be good if he saves some time on sweets and entertainment, earn money or perform small errands.
- Set an example of frugality, because the child first looks at the parents and adopts their behavior. And if you treat things with care, then children will consider this attitude the norm. A well-known proverb says: “Do not raise children, educate yourself.” Your children will still be like you.””
