Lessons of Financial Literacy
Son of 8 years. Recently, he began to ask me for money. When I give, I spend it on all sorts of nonsense - chips, soda water. If you refuse, indignant, said that all the guys there, but he has not. How to be?
Apparently, your boy is ready for selfmoney management. Start with a small fixed amount that will be given once a week. You will need an excerpt: pocket money - the property of the child, so he spends it, it does not concern you. But teach him to financial discipline. Give the »salary» in the pre-specified days such as Fridays and depart not from the schedule. Give his son a beautiful, modern wallet and ask that the money kept in it, and have not been stuffed in his pockets. In no case do not punish the child's deprivation of pocket money for bad behavior and twos.
Pocket Money - child property. So he spends them, parents should not touch.
Potty training
My daughter almost two years, but it has not yetI learned how to ask for a regular pot, although many of its peers problems with it anymore. I'm always running after her with a pot, I was blamed for the wet pants, but nothing helps. There were a neurologist, he said that there is no deviation, you need to wait. How long can this last?
Age when the child ceases to urinatepanties individual. So be patient. Stop the »fight» with my daughter, otherwise it will take the pot as a source of grief and his mother's displeasure. In other words, the more you scold the girl, the less she wants to use the potty. Do not give up trying to completely, plant it in a pot and praise if it worked. It will take quite a bit of time, and the problem will be left behind, you'll even be surprised that so much worried by such an insignificant matter.
In search of the lost thirst for knowledge
I have a feeling that her daughter lost interestlearning. Until the fifth grade learned with pleasure, and then it seemed to have changed. Homework does under duress, tells enthusiastically about schoolmates, but hardly remembers that studied in the classroom. How to return to her desire to learn?
The problem that you describe is verycommon in our time. The reason - in the Russian education system. It is aimed at the end result - evaluation or test scores. The process of assimilation of knowledge mechanical, requiring no creativity. This study can not carry away the child. do not lose the desire to learn new things completely in your power to help her daughter. Comfortable with its estimates, help with homework, but do not limit cognitive school classes. Use advanced features: TV shows, educational computer games, audioentsiklopediya, shares in museums (from master classes to the special children's lectures). Travel to nearby towns and simply communicate with interesting people.
