To welcome a new life means that you have made certain psychological and material preparations.
After all, giving birth to and raising a child is a big project. From pregnancy to delivery, and then to the upbringing and education for the next ten or twenty years, it takes a lot of energy and effort from one or even several generations.
Every parent, especially mothers, hopes to give their children the best education and material conditions, although the economic conditions of every household are different.
Therefore, each of us is working hard and working hard for the next generation.
Wishes are great, but we cannot fly around like headless flies without an implementable plan.
From my personal experience, I think raising children requires preparation in the following aspects: material and education.
First, the material aspect.
Of course, it means working hard to earn and save money, striving for better career development, creating better material conditions for children, and of course having better educational resources.
For example, give your children better milk powder and food to provide them with adequate nutrition.
Another example is letting your children go to better kindergartens and schools, and hiring better tutors to help them with their homework.
In addition, every year we have the opportunity to take our children to travel to other places or even abroad to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
I suggest that parents divide their money into three parts, one for normal living expenses, one for emergency use in emergencies (preferably a current account), and the last part for their children to use when they get married and buy a house.
When children grow up, they also need financial support from their parents to marry and have children. Especially families with boys also need to plan to buy a house for their children.
These are all supported by material conditions, so I suggest that parents put the money left for their children to get married and have children in a separate account, and put a part of their salary into it every month. If you have better financial management methods, you can also put it into a separate account.
Use this money for financial management.
In short, one purpose is to force yourself to save money for your children every month. In the end, the money will be able to contribute to your children to some extent.
The remaining money is used to meet normal life needs and respond to emergencies.
The second aspect is education.
This is more important than material things. It determines the future development of your child's personality and abilities.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Everyone knows this truth.
But when it comes to actually doing it, whether parents want convenience and worry, they still feel sorry for their children. It is easy for children to develop bad characters and habits.
Parents are their children's first teachers, and everything they do will affect their children's growth.
Don't expect school children to educate your children into talents. Teachers can only teach children knowledge.
There is also the relationship between material and education that needs to be grasped. Giving children better material conditions does not mean they can educate them well. There is no fundamental connection between the two. The key still depends on the parents.
Therefore, parents need to attend more lectures or training in this area and accept better educational concepts.
