The best ways to earn money for children. How and where a child can work - all the norms according to the Law Where you can earn money 10 years

At the age of 10. And I think that it was an extremely useful and necessary experience. Now I am already a parent myself, and when my daughter is older, I will do my best to ensure that she works regularly from an early age. Work for children, schoolchildren and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years is very important in preparing them for adulthood , to identify and develop their abilities, and is also a prerequisite for mastering financial literacy and the ability to handle money.

In this article, we will analyze in detail why it is worth accustoming a child to work and work from an early age, we will talk about how and where a child can earn his own money, how this will affect his future and how to correctly weave this process into the general education system.

So, my first money earned at the age of 10 at a gas station. It was summer, with a friend we went out of town to one of the gas stations. Back then, there weren't many gas stations. But getting there was not difficult, we traveled by regular bus. There we refueled cars, for which some drivers gave us a small reward.

I remember that I myself decided to work at a gas station. More precisely, it was our joint decision with my friend. Well, to be even more precise, then alone we would hardly decide to do this, but together it seems to be more fun and not so scary.

Our parents did not encourage us to do this. That I, that my friend grew up in ordinary Soviet families. The family had enough money and we did not live in poverty. However, as I remember now, I wanted to have my own money, not begged from my parents, which I could spend on anything.

We wanted to be independent, adults. As a child, you usually always want to grow up as quickly as possible, and when you grow up, you want to look younger on the contrary.

In childhood, almost every child has a lot of all sorts of prohibitions: you can’t smoke, swear badly, walk until nine, don’t get deuces, don’t indulge, don’t jump, don’t show your tongue, etc. Therefore, every child perceives adulthood as a kind of liberation from prohibitions.

Children look at adults and see that they can do anything. And from adults they only hear: “This is impossible, then it is impossible.”

Subsequently, when I got older and worked part-time in other places, I remember that I always did it with pleasure, because work and earned money gave me a sense of adulthood and independence what I was aiming for.

Although I speak for myself now, I am sure that for many children, work at an early age causes similar feelings and emotions. If you are reading these lines and you have children, then here is the first plus for you from working at an early age.

Let your child feel independent and mature.

By the way, if I loved to work for money, then I hated NOT to work for money. For example, I hated working in my parents' garden. Planting and harvesting potatoes, weeding grass, picking berries - all this terribly tired me.

If I endured the first few hours calmly, then I began to frankly get bored. Moreover, parents always went to the garden from early morning until late evening.

So if you have children and they don’t like to go to the garden or cottage with you, then either take them for a shorter period, not for the whole day, or motivate them with something. It can be done both with money and in other ways, for example, sweets, movies, etc.

But back to my first job. Generally this way of earning for a child is relevant now. There are gas stations where refuellers work on a permanent basis, and there are gas stations where there are no such employees and it is not provided.

We worked at the gas station without any agreements. They just came and started working. No one drove us away, though the time was different then. Now, most likely, you will have to first talk with one of the gas station employees. For the refueling itself, this will only be a plus, because it’s convenient when you don’t need to poke around with the gas tank cap and the dispenser gun yourself, especially when the car is dirty.

At what age can you officially work?

Labor law states that you can officially work from the age of 14. Perhaps some of the leaders of gas stations are afraid to take on such responsibility. Although, you can always agree and find a way out. For example, you can prepare children in advance and teach them what to answer in case unknown people start asking them various tricky questions.

I can say for sure that my first job at a gas station changed me a lot. She showed me the process of the emergence of money from a completely different side.

Before, I always thought that parents have money, and always. Yes, I understood that they go to work, but until the end I did not realize what it was.

Even when my parents told me that they had no money, I always knew that they were cheating. They always had money, so it seemed to me.

When I understood WHAT work is and WHAT salary is, many things fell into place. I have become more respectful of money. I realized that before the money rustles in your pocket, you need to work hard and make some effort. Accordingly, I became more cautious about parting with money.

If I had money, I was in no hurry to spend it right and left. I began to treat my purchases more rationally and carefully. But what is most interesting, I learned to realize the value of certain things.

I knew that in order to earn, for example, 100 rubles, I would need to work hard for a week. And when later I saw some thing in the store, I could already estimate its value not just in rubles, but in the number of days that I would have to work in order to earn the required amount for it.

This is very it is important that your child is able to evaluate certain things not in rubles, but in the amount of effort expended, then it will be easier for him to understand the value of certain things. He will realize how difficult and hard money is given.

Perhaps for some of the adults, such reasoning will seem banal, but for a ten-year-old child, the appearance of such conclusions is akin to the discovery by Mendeleev of his ingenious table of chemical elements. In terms of developing financial literacy, this was a real breakthrough for me.

So if you're still wondering if your child should go to camp or get a job this summer, now you have a solid reason to make a decision.

After all, many parents think that summer is a period of rest when you need to swim, sunbathe, eat fruit and gain strength. And about work they think: “The horses die from work.” And they transfer this philosophy to their child, they worry about him, that he, poor thing, will overwork, God forbid.

I assure you that a few weeks of work, and even better a month, will have a much more fruitful effect on your child. You should not rush to extremes either and send him all summer to some kind of labor camp.

Also, it is important that the child wants it to make his wish come true. To achieve this, I recommend doing the following. Find out what your child dreams about. Perhaps among his desires there is some expensive toy, such as a bike or a computer console. Offer your offspring to earn part of the amount, and you will add the rest to him for the purchase.

In general, you need turn your child's employment process into a game. After all, not every child wants to work in the summer, while his peers swim and sunbathe on the lake.

Here you can not act by force and force the child to work. You need to be smarter. It is necessary to show him the advantages of work, to convey weighty arguments to the child so that the child himself wants to earn money.

How can a teenager make money online?

When we talk about work for children, teenagers, schoolchildren, we first of all mean work in the summer. After all, in autumn, winter and spring, children study and, as a rule, they have no time to work.

But with the advent of the Internet in our lives, this situation has changed dramatically. Now any child can easily earn money on the Internet for pocket expenses at any time of the year.

If you have a computer with Internet access, then you can earn money at any time of the day. Do you want early in the morning, if the child is studying on the second shift, do you want in the evening or even at night.

In general, this way of earning should be put in the first place, because working on the Internet is simple, any child can easily cope with it, starting from 9-10 years old. To master this work, you do not need to take any special courses, study for 5 years at the institute or read a bunch of books.

You will not be fired from this job. You can work for a week, then go to your grandmother in the village for a month or two, then return and continue working.

You can be sure that your child will not get injured on the job, he will not get hit by a car and some hooligans will not take his honestly earned money from him.

Let's get to the heart of the matter. You probably can’t wait to find out what you need to do to make money on the Internet for your child. Today, any teenager can earn as follows:

Clicking on links and browsing sites. Don't worry - this is an absolutely safe work and all the sites you view are subject to preliminary control and verification. There will be no porn sites and sites that can damage the child's psyche.
Reading letters. This is also a safe job. It boils down to the fact that the teenager needs to read a short letter and answer a security question.
Passing tests. Here you also need to read the text prepared by advertisers, and then give the correct answer to one of the three options. The test usually contains three questions, each of which contains three possible answers. The questions are all simple and if the child is attentive, he will easily answer.
Performing various simple tasks. For example, to get money you need to register on the site, play a demo game and then write a short report.

This work can be found at this link on the Seosprint website. And here you will find detailed instructions with video tutorials, which I recorded especially for you.

How else can a child earn money?

Try to contact the local employment center or the administration of your city. Perhaps they have some public organizations or special companies that are engaged in the employment of children.

We used to have a special organization in the city, I think it was called "Cobra", which employed teenage children. I remember later, after a gas station, somewhere at the age of 13-14, I worked part-time in this organization. It was spring and we cleared the roads, footpaths and areas in front of the entrances from snow. In the summer, they usually cleaned different areas.

They worked for several hours a day, did not get tired much and got good money for the children. It was already more close to reality work. If at a gas station we were like individual entrepreneurs, they themselves decided what time to come to work and what time to leave. That in "Cobra" we were already as hired employees.

Work began at a certain time. I remember how worried I was about not being late for it. Now I understand how much this work has affected my responsibility, punctuality.

After that, I didn't work anywhere else until I was 18. At the age of 18, I already began to work seriously, in an adult way. But that's another story. Now let's look at what other ways there are to make money for children.

Newspaper sales

In my city there is a newspaper of free announcements “Fair”, which invites teenagers for the summer to distribute their newspaper. They are given bright yellow T-shirts, newspapers, which they offer to buy in crowded places, markets, near shopping centers, etc.

In general, this is a good school. I think that the subject of "selling" should be taught at school. One way or another, a lot of our lives are built on sales. When we meet a girl, we “sell” ourselves, our charm, sense of humor, etc. When we get a job, we “sell” our knowledge, skills and useful experience. When we persuade someone to our opinion, we “sell” their benefits. When we build our own business, the key skill that an entrepreneur must have is the ability to sell.

Many more examples could be given. If you have a child, I strongly recommend that you teach him how to sell. But if you yourself do not know how to sell, then give it to where they can teach it. Newspaper sales are one such place.

Posting ads

This is a common job that teenagers do. It does not require any special knowledge and skills. Run around the city and put up ads. In this regard, I do not really like this kind of work. There is no need to think here, which means that the head will not develop.

Refueling cars with gasoline or selling newspapers are much more preferable in this regard. There's still work with people provided. And on how you approach a person, how you smile, whether you can like it - it largely depends on whether you sell something to a person or whether he will reward you for your work.

But what I dislike the most about posting ads is that you often see ads of an intimate nature that are posted by teenagers. I will not allow my daughter to do this kind of work.

Postmen

Today, postmen are required both at the post office and in various commercial organizations that distribute their flyers in mailboxes.

And, by the way, teenagers cope with this work much better than adults. Teenagers work much more honestly. They haven't been ruined yet. But adults often cheated. For example, they threw leaflets into trash cans, and they told me that they had distributed everything. As you understand, the company suffered serious losses because of such rogues.

car wash

This is a job for older children, starting at 13-14 years old. For example, selling newspapers or refueling cars with gasoline make money for kids Can be years with 10 and even younger.

Car washing is a monotonous physical job. But its main drawback is that the child will have to work in a humid room, which may affect his health. And you need to remember that your child will have to work with expensive cars, inadvertently scratching which you can get a lot of trouble.

couriers

The task of couriers is the delivery of various goods, food, correspondence. This is also a job for older children from 13-15 years old. The fact is that you will need to wander around the city. And I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids.

Territory cleaning

I already wrote about cleaning the territory above, but here I want to add that this work can be found in various private organizations. Many enterprises require people who keep order in the territory, remove garbage, paint the fence, do landscaping, etc.

Distribution of leaflets and flyers in passable places

There is nothing complicated in this work. The main task is to distribute as many leaflets as possible to people passing by. Such work should be sought in various advertising and marketing agencies.

Usually they, commissioned by large trading companies, attract teenage children to distribute flyers.

Advertising of goods and tastings

Often in large shopping centers I meet so-called promoters who lay out some products on small tables and offer everyone who wants to try it for free.

They can offer various dairy products, yogurts, various semi-finished products, cheeses, sausages, soft drinks, beer, etc.

Selling flowers

Once, I invited a girl to a restaurant. We had a great time, chatted nicely, ate gourmet dishes, listened to live music, and suddenly, unexpectedly, a boy appears, 10-12 years old, in a strict black suit and with a bow tie instead of a tie. He looked very serious and presentable.

In his hands was a basket of roses. Smiling, he said, "Would you like to present these beautiful roses to your lovely companion?" It was very helpful. You can't imagine better. My companion was very happy when I gave her a beautiful flower.

Further, this boy went through all the other tables and sold a few more flowers. Then, he left the restaurant and most likely went to the next one. In this case, you can not do without the help of adults. Since the boy needs to be taken to restaurants. And yes, it was getting late. Around 21-22 hours.

I really like this way of earning. Because the method of sale is practically trouble-free. Even if my plans did not include buying flowers for a girl, then in that situation I would not be able to say: “Thank you, no need.” I would have looked like a frank miser and it is unlikely that I would have subsequently succeeded in something with this girl.

Packers in large stores

My wife told me about this job. As a child, she worked as a packer in a grocery store. She put cookies, sweets and other sweets into bags.

Sale of ice cream in the squares

One of the easiest ways to earn money for a child in the summer is to sell ice cream and soft drinks in squares, squares and other crowded places.

Installing a refrigerator is easy. In addition, companies involved in the production and sale of ice cream of these refrigerators are a dime a dozen. You can just come to them, offer your candidacy, and then they will organize the workplace themselves.

It's even easier to sell ice cream on a bike. Once in Tyumen, I saw special bicycles with a small refrigerator with ice cream in front of them.

Bicycle rental

Usually in the summer there are a lot of bike and rollerblade rentals. Such rentals are organized both in separate rooms and in spontaneous places. I have seen special trailers in which the big ones are stored.

These trailers are small and easy to transport with a car. Such work can be found both for hire and organized independently.

Trampolines

Many parents walk in parks and squares with small children. Children need to be entertained in some way, and usually various trampolines and inflatable towns are installed for them, where the children can frolic to their heart's content.

A child from 10 years old can easily sell tickets or keep track of time on such playgrounds. By the way, a simple trampoline that can fit 3-6 kids is not expensive and you can quite organize an independent business in this direction.

Diploma and term papers

If your child is doing well in school, then he may well make money on your own brains. You can help less capable classmates, solve problems for them to order.

You can also try your hand at writing term papers and essays. By the way, for this it is not necessary to study at the institute yourself. Today, most of the original abstracts and term papers are simply old abstracts and term papers rewritten in other words.

Dancing in clubs and restaurants

This way of earning is not for everyone, but only for those who can dance well. More than once in clubs and restaurants I saw young boys who danced break-dance there, and then went around with a hat and collected donations.

In general, I give this way of earning money for children more so that you turn on your imagination. If you or your child have creative abilities and skills, then you will not face the problem of lack of money.

When you can sing, dance, draw, play musical instruments, sculpt or craft, then you can always earn on your talent.

Computer literacy (children teach adults how to work on a PC)

Children today understand computers much better than adults. This can and should be used. Computers are everywhere, in any enterprise, but far from everyone knows how to handle it.

This is especially true for the adult generation, those over 40. If your child is computer savvy, then let them teach adults how to use it for money. It is not a problem to advertise in a newspaper or on a bulletin board.

Merchandiser

A merchandiser is a person who arranges products in large supermarkets. You probably paid attention to how beautifully and evenly stand juices, milk, jars, cookies and other products on the shelves.

All this is the merit of merchandisers. Usually young girls and boys work in these positions. The truth is not younger than 14-15 years. The fact is that sometimes you have to pull heavy boxes, which not every child can do.

You don't have to be an adult to make money. In fact, you don't even have to be a teenager! There is an opportunity to earn money at any age. Traditional activities include babysitting, snow removal, and housework. There are also more unique and creative types of work - selling your crafts or growing vegetables. Remember that part of the money earned is always better to save for the future.

Steps

Look after the children

Fold up a work box or backpack. Gather all the necessary things like a first aid kit, phone charger and something to eat. Also take things for the child: coloring books, glitter glue, toys and puzzles.

Set a price. The average cost of babysitting services in Moscow is 300 rubles per hour. You should make allowances for your age, experience, and the number of children you need to supervise. Discuss the cost of services with parents before they leave you alone with their children.

There are special applications for paying for services using a smartphone so that you do not have to carry cash with you.
Such a conversation can make you feel uncomfortable, but don't be afraid to charge a fair price. Each work must be paid!

Please arrive 15 minutes early to discuss the rules with your parents. This amount of time is enough to learn all the house rules, expectations from you and contact information before the parents leave. Ask about possible allergies, when the kids go to bed and how you should be disciplined. Record your answers in a notebook so you don't forget anything.
- Now is a good time to discuss payment if you haven't already. Let me know the rates, even if your parents pay you when they get home.
- Don't be late! Even if you are only 1 minute late, you will show yourself as an irresponsible and unreliable person.
Act decisively if the children do not obey. Don't give in to persuasion. If they ask you to do something that your parents strongly forbade (for example, go to bed later), then it's better to play it safe and follow the rules of your parents. Impress them with your maturity and responsibility so that they will use your services again!
- When in doubt, ask questions. Don't hesitate to call your parents if you're not sure what to do. God saves man, who save himself.
- Never use force or yell at children. Speak in an unquestioning voice to remind them of the rules and consequences if they don't stop messing around.
Complete the training and get a certificate if you are already 11 years old. Look for courses near you or at the nearest Red Cross office. Get certified in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. So you will learn a lot of useful information and get a certificate that will help you find a job faster, because your parents will trust you more.
- Group courses are always cheaper than private lessons.
- If you are under 11 years old or not ready to look after other children on your own, then try to help in the presence of your parents. Sit or play with the kids while mom or dad is at home but busy with other things.
Get involved in sales
1. Have a sale to get rid of things you don't need. Tidy up your room and put away all the toys, decorations, and things you no longer need. With parental permission, place them on a folding table in the yard or in front of the gate. Use stickers to make price tags. Set prices based on the original cost and current condition of each item.
  - It is best to hold a sale in the morning on a weekend. It is at this time that you can attract the largest number of visitors.
  - Ask your parents and siblings what items they no longer need. The more different products, the more people of different ages may be interested in your sale.
  - Get ready to drop the price. Determine in advance the minimum acceptable price for each item in order to competently bargain with buyers.
2. Sell candy if you have many friends. Who wouldn't want to be energized in the form of a candy bar? Buy candy from a wholesaler or store for a lower price. Then sell the product by the piece to make a profit.
  - For example, if you bought 12 bars for 120 rubles, then each bar cost 10 rubles. In this case, you can sell them at a price of 20 rubles per bar to earn 120 rubles.
  - If you want to sell candy at the school, please check the school rules.
  - If you want to offer candy to residents of other houses, for the sake of safety, walk around the area with a parent.
3. Sell lemonade in hot weather. You will need a folding table, a "Lemonade for sale!" sign, plastic cups, straws, a large pitcher, ice, and the lemonade itself. If you set up a table in the front yard, you can make lemonade in the kitchen and store it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. Set a price per glass.
  - If the counter is further from the house, then prepare the lemonade in advance and store it in a thermos under the table.
  - Charge extra for ice and straws (more supplies, more costs!).
  - You can use store-bought bottled lemonade, but then your income will be lower than if you make your own lemonade. People are willing to pay more for a fresh drink, and they can buy bottled lemonade in the store themselves.
  - Along with lemonade, sell cookies and pretzels to earn more.
4. Sell baked goods if you love to cook. Use classic recipes to make large quantities of chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and vanilla muffins. When you're done, arrange the food in individual portions in cute packaging like bags with tape. Place the rack in your front yard or on the corner of a busy street.
  - When selling homemade baked goods, it is very important to keep the products clean and safe. Always wash your hands with soap and water when preparing or handling pastries. Use only fresh produce.
  - Contact your local public health and health department for the required permits.
  - Use ready-made mixes or buy all products separately. You can also offer specialty items like vegetarian or gluten-free baked goods to stand out from other vendors.
5. Grow fruits, vegetables or herbs to sell. If your parents let you grow vegetables in your backyard, choose simple options like lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumbers. If you decide to grow plants at home in pots, then choose ones that do not require a lot of sunlight or a lot of space. Harvest ripe crops and sell them in bags or plastic containers.
6. Sell handmade items. Turn your hobby into a source of income. Candles, friendship bracelets, or homemade cards can be sold at fairs, farmers' markets, or online. Prices are determined depending on the cost of materials and the time spent.
  - The more expensive the materials and the more time it took to work, the higher the price should be.
  - If you are under 18, you can open an Etsy store with parental permission. If you are under 13, ask your parents to set up a store in your name.
  - Some shops and family shops are ready to sell products of local craftsmen. You need to find such stores and offer your amazing crafts.
Work outside
1. Mow lawns if you can handle a lawn mower. Conventional lawnmowers can be used from 12 years old, while models with a wheel are prohibited for teenagers under 16 years old. Before you start mowing, check with your neighbor about the desired height of the grass, what areas need to be tidied up and other special instructions (for example, do not mow near the flower beds).
  - Set a price based on the size of your lawn. Check prices in your area.
  - Mowing lawns is safest when the weather is fine and during daylight hours.
  - Always use closed-toe shoes and wear safety goggles to keep debris and pieces of grass out of your eyes.
  - If your neighbors have pets or small children, ask them not to let them go outside during mowing for safety reasons.
2. Collect fallen leaves. Grab your rakes, big trash bags and start offering your services to the locals. Specify which areas need to be tidied up and where to put the leaves (next to the garbage or in the compost pit). Gather the leaves into a large pile with a rake, then place in a trash bag and tie.
  - Do not collect leaves immediately after rain. Wet leaves are much heavier. Wait for the yard to dry out a bit.
  - If you're stacking leaves instead of sacking, use a large wheeled basket. This will make it easier for you to fold and move the leaves.
3. Keep sidewalks and roads free of snow. Take a light but strong shovel made of a material that does not stick to snow. Decide on a working strategy: you can shovel snow from the driveway from top to bottom or diagonally. Move the snow to the edges of the road and don't move it unless you want to get tired quickly.
  - Set a price based on the size of your driveway, paths, or porch.
  - While working, try to bend your knees, not your lower back, to reduce the load on your back.
  - Dress appropriately for the weather as you will be spending several hours outside. Take a coat or jacket, waterproof gloves, a hat or earmuffs, and non-flat shoes.
Looking for a casual job
1. Do housework. If your parents already give you pocket money, then find out how you can earn some more. Offer to do the laundry, clean the toilet and bathroom, or vacuum the carpets. Also offer your services to neighbors.
  - Your suggestion will be especially helpful to elderly neighbors who already find it difficult to do this kind of work.
  - You should not expect to be paid money for your usual duties like cleaning your room or kitchen after dinner.
2. Keep an eye on the house while the neighbors are on vacation. Water the flowers, take out the trash, pick up the mail and keep an eye on things. You may be asked to visit the house a couple of times a day or even spend the night there so that the dwelling does not look empty and does not attract burglars. Obey all neighbors' instructions and always lock your front door after you leave.
  - If you need to stay overnight, then invite your parents, older brother or sister with you.
  - Ask neighbors to write down all important directions so you don't forget anything, as well as a phone number where you can contact them if you have questions or in an emergency.
  - Treat your duties with respect. You have been entrusted with great responsibility, so you should not undermine your confidence by inviting friends into the house, eating other people's food or taking things without permission.
3. Walk the dogs. Encourage dog owners to walk their pets. Always be on time, bring a spare leash, water bottle, dog bowl, and poop bags. Walk the dog for a specified amount of time, set a price depending on the length of the walk and your experience.
  - Write down your schedule in your phone or diary so you don't forget or mix up anything.
  - Get to know your dog before the first walk so you get used to each other. Ask if you can play with the dog in the backyard for about an hour.
  - Soberly assess your capabilities. You may not be comfortable dealing with certain breeds like Pit Bull Terriers or overly aggressive dogs. Refuse such offers even in case of high payment.
4. Feed and look after pets when neighbors are away. Pet care is like babysitting, but with animals. If you love animals, then offer your services to your neighbors. Respect their rules and ask clarifying questions.
  - Call on your neighbors before you leave to discuss the exact course of action and the cost of the work.
  - Your price should depend on the duration of the supervision, the number of pets and your responsibilities.
  - For example, if you need to feed the fish once a day, then the price will be lower than if you walk the dog twice a day and need to take insulin injections.
  - Write down all important contact information, such as cell phone numbers for neighbors, the name and phone number of the veterinary clinic, and other details.
5. Teach your children about subjects you are good at. What subjects or topics do you do best in school? Help out your peers or work with younger kids who want to excel in the new school year. Make flyers listing your items and topics, costs, and other services. Distribute them at school and among neighbors.
  - Offer an hourly rate or a fixed price per lesson. The price should correspond to the level of your knowledge and skills.
  - For example, if you are just helping to prepare for Algebra flashcards, then the cost should be lower than when preparing for an essay in English.
  - Prepare for lessons - view materials, buy textbooks and exercise books, clarify your student's school curriculum or topics that are most difficult for him.
6. Give your friends manicures. All you need to get started is a few colors of nail polish and some creativity. Charge extra for fancy patterns, glitter, or embellishments. Offer a discount for a comprehensive manicure and pedicure service. For example, if a manicure costs $50 and a pedicure $60, then the total cost could be $100, and the discount would encourage customers to order additional services.
  - Watch tutorial videos online to learn how to draw flowers, stars, and patterns.
Warnings
- Avoid dangerous neighbors and neighborhoods.
- Be careful with strangers. Some of them will want to get into your house or invite you into their home. Never accept invitations and only talk to strangers in front of your parents.
- All work requires parental permission.
- You can not take or sell other people's things. Theft is a crime that will bring a lot of problems.

2. How to make a teenager money and not harm his studies - 4 useful tips for minors

It is important to minimize activities that eat up a huge amount of time - computer games, social networks, e-mail.

Tip 2. You should follow the diet 🍔🍕

Working on an empty stomach can be difficult. But snacking during work only gets in the way. While eating ( including when drinking tea or cocoa) blood flows from the brain to the stomach. Thinking becomes much more difficult.

Moreover, in the process of digestion of food, a huge amount of glucose is produced, from which a person can fall asleep. It turns out that it is forbidden snack during work . This is especially true for activities that require mental costs.

Best to eat around 30 -60 minutes before starting work. Gradually, this mode will become habitual. As a result, not only the work will be effective, but it will also be possible to prevent the occurrence of various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Tip 3. You need to remember the gradual decrease in work efficiency 👀

It has been scientifically proven that performance is highest during the first hour. To the greatest extent, this applies to mental and sedentary activities.

After 60 minutes, performance begins to decline ⇓. Therefore, experts recommend taking a break every hour for a duration about 15 minutes.

When the break is over, you can get back to work with renewed vigor.

Tip 4. During the break, you should do a warm-up 🏋️‍♂️🤸‍♂️‍🚴‍♀️

During a break, you should not waste time on empty entertainment. Much better to make a small warm-up . This will help relieve tension that accumulates while sitting in the neck, back, and shoulders.

Fatigue is primarily associated with the almost complete immobility of muscles and joints during work. Regular warm-up will help to avoid such side effects as rachiocampsis. Moreover, in a few months the whole body will come into tone.

If you strictly adhere to the above rules, you can get a good increase in pocket money. In this case, there will be no interference with learning.
