Cognitive development experts are convinced that certain phrases said by parents can cause financial failure in children.
We tell you what you shouldn’t tell your children so as not to doom them to poverty.
"We have no money"
A child perceives this phrase differently than an adult.
If a child constantly hears that his parents have no money, he begins to think that without it it is impossible to achieve what he wants.
And if such a situation is in adults, then there is nothing to say about him. As a result, the child may grow up unsure of himself.
When refusing to buy something for a child, explain why it is impossible at this particular moment.
“There are no rich people in our family, we have always lived like this.”
This phrase is a great way to clip a child's wings from an early age.
By using this expression, you are impressing upon your child that poverty is a family tradition that he or she is expected to continue.
"It is impossible to make money honestly"
An analogue of this expression could be the phrase: “Yes, we earn little, but at least we earn honestly.”
With this phrase you are instilling in your child that you can only earn money through cunning and deception, or even theft.
This can lead to the child not even trying to follow an honest path, but immediately starting to look for illegal ways to earn money.
