At the International School of Trissur, our priority therefore is to inculcate confidence in our students to face that quickly changing new and complex world.

Children are innocent spirits in need of adequate supervision and role models. While they have excellent intentions, they usually fail to understand the larger picture and make wasteful and unneeded actions. There is frequently a lack of vision and clarity, especially when distinguishing between what is required and what is motivated by desire.

First and foremost, your youngster should grasp the importance of hard-earned money. Don’t give in to every request from your youngster. Make them earn it through various reward schemes instead. Allow them to generate money whenever feasible, and then offer them the freedom to invest it in anything they choose.

When it comes to recognizing the distinction between ‘needs’ and ‘wants,’ prioritizing is crucial. Your child may feel that they need everything they want, but it is your role as a parent to teach them differentiate between what they need and what they want.

When we consider what we require, we often consider material items and rewards. However, as you help your child comprehend the notion of “needs,” you must also teach them that it is not restricted to the concept of goods and items. Needs might range from emotional support to hobbies and, of course, material possessions.

In today’s wealthy world, parents may desire to give the finest that money can purchase for their children. They must not, however, overindulge or they may get infatuated with material stuff. Instead, encourage them to be satisfied with what they have and to purchase just what is absolutely required.

Encourage your youngster to share what they have with those in need. Reinforce the importance of giving thoughtfully rather than receiving.

When you educate your child the difference between wants and necessities, he or she will be content with what they have. You’ll also have a greater chance of having a child who grows up to be a happy, financially responsible adult.
