Dream - Financial problems are often experienced by a family. Certainly, the economic condition is not always good and sometimes it requires tightening expenses. This certainly has an impact on the children.
There are parents who openly discuss the family's financial situation with their children, but there are also those who believe it is an adult matter and do the opposite. So, how should one behave when the family's financial situation is not good and the children ask? "Although parents do not want to burden children with adult-sized problems, children will experience stress. So pretending that everything is fine when it is not actually helpful. It is healthy to share the situation with children so that they understand what is happening, but it is important not to give them more information than they can handle," said Amy Morin, a psychotherapist.
Parents can share their financial situation, but it should not burden and stress the child. The psychological ability of a child to accept a bad condition is very different from adults.
According to Morin, there are several things that can be done to explain the financial condition to children.
"If you really want to talk seriously, use language and terms that children understand. Focus on what can be done, rather than what cannot be done."
"It is better to inform children that we are being very frugal in order to pay for electricity/internet/daily necessities, rather than telling them that we cannot afford to buy new shoes," expressed Morin. Furthermore, Morin suggested parents to share with children the steps taken to overcome the situation. Such as, "father/mother working extra hours so that we have more money," or "father/mother meeting with some people who will help us pay the rent this month"."
"If you have set a budget and prioritized expenses, share this strategy with the children. Children aged 8 and above can already understand this explanation."
"Communicate the plan with your children so they know what is expected," said Morin. For example, she suggested parents make a statement, "We will not spend money on things we don't need this month. But we can still have fun by doing things that don't require expenses, like going to the park."
It is allowed to be honest and convey that we are limiting expenses and prioritizing expenditure. Try the best way to alleviate children's worries.
"Healthy messaging involves simple explanations of what is expected of children and the certainty that adults can handle it," said Morin. Morin suggests that conversations can be like, "Dad/mom works hard to pay the bills, but for the next few weeks we won't be buying new clothes or eating out." According to him, children feel secure when their parents acknowledge the current situation but provide solutions. Source: Parents
