The Spring Festival is a time for children to receive lucky money. Do you think parents should look after their children’s lucky money? Here, some junior high school students are sharing their ideas.
Tian Yun said, “Lucky money should be kept by parents because children generally don’t have much experience with money and are likely to form the habit of splashing out.” She thinks they can’t control themselves when they see things they like. So when they graduate from high school, they can manage their money.
In Wang Xin’s opinion, it is too difficult for young children to manage their money wisely as there are so many distractions (干扰) outside. With a lot of money, they may be cheated by bad people, which will make them get into trouble.
However, Hou Yi thinks children should be free to spend their lucky money because it’s a good chance to develop their money management skills. Children will be able to learn how to use their money properly. What parents should do is to guide them correctly.
When it comes to Cui Han’s idea, children should be trusted to manage their money. She thinks children over eight have the right to deal with their own money. They won’t depend on their parents too much.
