Here it has started the summer vacation, which is the longest leave in the school year, the duration of this leave reaches six weeks, and students spend the leave in various programs, which are between entertainment and entertainment programs such as travel and trips, roaming in complexes, and capacity development programs such as sports programs or self -development programs, and skills development programs, and some spend leave at home suffer from emptiness and boredom.
Here, the role of parents in the importance of directing children to invest the time of summer vacation in the best way, and I see that the summer vacation is an opportunity to accustom children to self -reliance in their life matters, the majority of Bahraini families depend on the maid and the driver to spend their home needs, but it is necessary for children to rely on themselves in doing their daily needs at home, so they learn the skill of washing clothes, ironing, cleaning and arranging Their rooms, cooking, washing utensils, and here lies the importance of encouraging and answering children in those work, as well as training them on them. The circumstances change, as the individual may live a period without a servant or a maid, so one needs to depend on himself to spend his needs at home, so it is necessary to gain basic home skills such as cleaning skills of all kinds, cooking, washing clothes, and arranging. They are skills that need training and mastery.
Perhaps one of the important and complex skills is a skill, washing, drying clothes, and returning them to their place in the cupboard, that journey that begins from the exit of dirty clothes from the room to its return to the cupboard requires time, skills and experience, as if he knows how to sort the clothes of all kinds, so isolate the white clothes from the color that comes out of the colors, and the colorful colors, and the clothes that should be washed gently with hand and not by washing That accepts drying with the drying machine, clothes that must be dried in the open air, and clothes that must be folded with steam, or normal ironing, from here the children should learn the importance of reading the washing and ironing methods on the cards that are placed on the clothes either in the tail of the clothes or behind, especially when buying clothes. More importantly, children get used to the importance of restricting dirty clothes and washing them instead of throwing them to the ground, and release the anger revolution when needed to wear certain clothes and is surprised that they are dirty, and what is more frequent this scene for young people.
It is not satisfied with that skill, but children must be accustomed to the skills of sweeping and wiping the flooring of the house according to their type if they are carpets, marble, porcelain or others, and thus to get used to commitment to preserving his room organized and clean, and important skills work in the kitchen, such as cooking, washing utensils, and cleaning the kitchen, and it is important for children to train on safety rules, and methods of saving time and effort while working in the house.
We must not underestimate and overlook our children’s accustoming to self -reliance in managing home affairs, as they are important skills to facilitate their lives, especially in the event that the servants are not available for any circumstance, it may have a travel circumstance or the lack of a maid, the summer vacation is an appropriate opportunity to accustom the children to self -reliance, so do not overlook them .. and you are safe.
