Actress Tuyen Map contacted the program, expressing her concerns about managing her child's lucky money. Currently, her daughter is still quite young and does not yet understand the value of money, so every year, she gives her lucky money to her mother and grandmother to keep.
The actress is worried that when her child grows up and needs money, she won’t know how to guide her to spend money wisely. She also asked for a solution when her daughter mentioned the lucky money she had received before.
Understanding the worries of actress Tuyen Map, Duong Cam Lynh shared that mothers should be clear about the amount of lucky money their children receive. If it is used to buy toys or for their children's entertainment needs, it should be mentioned.
Duong Cam Lynh revealed an unforgettable story of her eldest son revolving around the issue of lucky money. The actress said: “Once when I had an accident, my son gathered the lucky money and gave it to me. However, he only gave me half, the rest was for his father.
When I asked why she didn't give it all to her mother since she was the one who had to work hard to raise her child, she replied, "We have to be fair. Even though my child is not smart or talented, what he has is sharing and understanding."
In addition to Duong Cam Lynh’s solution, Dr. To Nhi A (lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City Central Pedagogical College) said that parents should proactively mention lucky money. According to the female doctor, if parents are not clear about this issue, the battle for lucky money between parents and children will become more tense.
She analyzed: “Parents should proactively share with their children where to keep the lucky money, and what to use it for if they are to use it. If the children have not yet resolved the issue, parents will be the ones to support and advise, and can talk to their children about the purpose of using the lucky money, and guide them to use it for the right purpose so as not to waste it.
I hope parents will be clear about this because the more they cover it up, the more terrible the battle for lucky money between children and parents will be. Because at this point, children will feel that they have no freedom. Actually, children do not need to get it back, but when parents explain clearly, children will feel more secure.
