Will raising a poor child ruin it?

Will raising a poor child ruin it? Is it good to raise children poor? Will parents being too frugal ruin their children's lives? Diligence and frugality are the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation. Perhaps it is because of the influence of this traditional thought that many parents use this idea as a way to educate their children. In essence, educating children to be diligent and frugal is good, and this will be good for their children's future. Some parents use different educational methods to educate their children. For example, they pay too much attention to frugality. Even if they have the conditions, they will give their children the illusion that the family is very poor. They do this to encourage their children to develop good habits of diligence and thrift, but they do not know that this wrong approach will ruin their children's lives. There is an example around me. I have a friend whose family is not particularly difficult. On the contrary, compared to many people, his family conditions are very good. He is the owner of a small factory and manages hundreds of employees. In the eyes of ordinary people, their family is very rich, but they pay great attention to poverty education. When it comes to their children, their education methods are very unique. Basically, his children have never worn clothes that cost more than 200 yuan. It seems difficult to understand for such a family. Moreover, his children basically do not have too many toys, and they are even worse than children from other families. One time I asked him why he did this. He told me that he wanted his children to develop a good habit of diligence and thrift. In fact, it is not good to educate children in this way. It will only make your children have lower self-esteem. Maybe for them, they are already used to it. This will also make the children lack a lot of innocence. The children will feel from the heart that they should be like this and should not pursue too much. It is difficult for children raised in this way to have their own opinions, which will determine their future direction. In fact, this kind of poverty is education, which will also affect children's emotional intelligence and further affect children's financial intelligence. Emotional intelligence and financial intelligence are not innate, and are very related to the child's living environment. We can imagine that a rich person and a poor person may have two extreme attitudes when seeing the same thing. The poor person may act very timid, and the rich person may act very confident. The poor have lost many opportunities between those who dare and those who dare not. Naturally, their way forward is blocked. It is correct to use correct and reasonable methods to teach children to save. For example, children should be allowed to understand their family situation from an early age. In this way, it will be helpful to the child's growth, as well as the child's outlook on life and world view.
