Many children have secretly taken money from their families, and even the most obedient children may have done so. Behind this behavior is a lack of the concept of “ownership”. This article may give you some inspiration on what to do when mom or dad finds out that their child has stolen money. This morning, Xinxin’s mother found 100 yuan missing from her pocket, which was originally the entire 1000 yuan taken out from the ATM last night. She counted the money and it was still missing 100 yuan. Xinxin’s father also said, “That’s strange, how could it be missing? I think I lost 50 yuan last time too, and I thought you had it.” Now Xinxin’s mother was a bit suspicious: did Xinxin steal the money? As the old saying goes, when you are young you steal needles, when you grow up you steal gold. If the child really stole the money, what can be done? The new mother decided to wait for the new new after school to observe him. When the evening came, Xinxin’s mother saw him walking to the convenience store with some of his classmates. When she looked at the glass door, she saw that the boy was “generously” treating himself to a checkout with a big, eye-catching 100 yuan bill – the same 100 yuan he had lost that morning. When the kids left, Xinxin’s mom went up to her and said with a smile, “Xinxin, come on, mommy will take you to the convenience store to buy snacks.” The new eyes flickered and looked at his mother nervously, thinking that she had found out that he had stolen the money and was ready to “fix” him! I didn’t realize that Xinxin’s mom was holding her child’s hand and picking out the convenience store: “Cotton candy? Raisins seem to be good, and chocolate for you to buy some.” When Xinxin’s arms were full of snacks, Xinxin’s mother squatted down and asked Xinxin: “Today, mommy found 100 yuan missing from her pocket, did you take it, baby?” Xinxin was embarrassed and said, “I took it, mom, I’m sorry.” Xinxin’s mother stroked her child’s head and said, “If mommy gives you less pocket money, tell mommy. Don’t take money from mommy and daddy’s pockets by yourself, okay?” “Okay!” From that day on, Xinxin’s mother gave the child an increase in pocket money, and the child Xinxin never took the money secretly again. Sometimes dad accidentally put the money on the coffee table, new new will also be thoughtful to help dad put away into the room, but also told dad to pay attention to keep the money. It is because of this sensible mother’s small action, it is easy to change the child “love to take money” problem. The new mother even said this: children may not have the concept of “stealing money”. Their inner needs are externally influenced and they will always try to get what they like without understanding that this is what adults understand as “thievery”. Instead of indiscriminately reprimanding the child for wrongdoing, parents should first focus on what the child has to do with the money. They are not as bad as adults think, so don’t easily push your child into negative comments. When a child sneaks to take the family’s money, mom and dad may want to do this: 1, stay calm, understand the idea behind the child Some parents have said that they saw the child “steal money”, they are angry to beat the child, the child promised not to repeat the crime, the results of the child instead of fighting with parents, “steal money “The little action is more and more. In the end, as parents, do not easily equate this behavior of children with theft of adults, so as not to make children feel that they are not good people, hurt the child’s self-esteem, it is more reluctant to listen to Mom and Dad. This time, the first thing parents should do is to calm down and ask themselves, what is the reason for the child to do this? Is it because there is not enough pocket money to spend? The first thing you should do is to ask yourself, what is the reason for this? The first thing you should do is to ask yourself what your child is doing. 2, correctly guide the child’s desire Children in the process of growing up will have a desire for the outside world, when the child found that money can buy their favorite things, he certainly can not resist the benefits, and hope to get more money the better. Mom and dad should respect and properly guide their children’s desires, for example, like the example of the new new mom keep communicating with their children at all times: “Everyone has something they like, and if we want it, we have to ask someone if they can give it to us, that’s what makes a polite child. I hope we can all do that, okay?” Mom and Dad can also learn what their child wants by watching and telling them how to get it. If mom and dad ignore it, the child will naturally want to get it “his way. This is how the “stealing money” behavior may arise. 3, give your child the right amount of pocket money When your child enters elementary school, mom and dad should give your child the right amount of pocket money, a moderate amount can be. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. When the child has pocket money in his hands, he will not risk stealing it to satisfy his usual “desires” when he sees other children spending it on things he likes. 4, timely elimination of triggers Mom and Dad want to stop children stealing money behavior, we must set an example in daily life, the family money properly placed. At the same time, parents should not spend money in front of the child, as well as often use money to coax the child, or use money as a reward for the child. This is not good for the growth of children who do not have the ability to work, and parents overly instill the concept of money. Instead of using money to bind the child, it is better to pay more attention to the child emotionally and psychologically, so that the child does not compensate for his or her loneliness by “stealing”.
