In our column entitled Eshraqa, published in the number (7126) of the Bahraini newspaper Al -Watan, we treated the glue, on Saturday, June 14, the number 7126, the twentieth year, the subject of providing them with the home skills of children that enable them to rely on themselves such as washing clothes in their various stages, cleaning the rooms and arranging them, cooking and other skills, where the article was under the title: “The summer vacation is an opportunity to accustom the children to rely on self.” This topic has received a great response from parents through various interventions, I mention from them only for example, and I apologize for not mentioning any response from the readers.
Where Mr. Al -Fadil Ahmed bin Muhammad Al -Banna, President of the Bahrain Parent Welfare Association, says that in the association we are aware of the importance of transferring experiences from the generation of parents to the generation of children in all fields, including transferring experiences in the field of housework, and we organized a training workshop for children to train them in home skills by parents, and this workshop had positive echoes. The construction confirms that the association continues in this trend, which will benefit future generations. It also emphasizes the importance of educating parents to their children, urging them to participate in useful courses and workshops, and exploiting the summer vacation in the benefit of children, and enhances building their personality and developing their various capabilities.
As Dr. (AA) commented, I have suffered from the problem of not qualifying to work with household chores such as: running the washing machine, sweeping, ironing and cooking, when I went to study abroad, where I was living in an internal housing for students since my studies started for the bachelor’s degree to the doctorate, and I discovered during these long years that the home skills that I were underestimating and consider it simple before my travel to study, that it is difficult skills Training on it in advance, if we learned those skills, we would not have faced the difficulty of life, especially in cooking, for all these years I did not cook only boiled eggs and eggs with tomatoes, and I still remember that I once worked hard and asked my mother how to make one of the rice dishes (the piston) and despite the many instructions of the mother and its follow -up to me from the time while preparing the cooking suddenly this “pent” chickens!!! And it was my only attempt to cook that was not repeated, and the doctor confirms that not having these skills increases the suffering of students in exile.
Many readers believe that the ease of requesting meals through delivery companies made children and parents depend on ready -made meals and demand restaurants, which made them dispense with cooking at home.
As for the reader, Dr. (A, N), she says that the parents often try to persuade their children to rely on themselves in arranging their rooms, cooking their own meals, or in order to put their clothes or other homework, but the children strongly reject home work, and resist the directives of their parents. And they consider it a kind of pressure on them to work from home, which makes them feel resentful and rebellious.
Many readers agree with the reader (A, N) that the reason lies that parents depend on the maid and the driver in all household chores, and do not do household chores with their hands, so the children are pursued by them, which makes the children be affected by them and approach their approach, as role models are important in accustoming children to relying on themselves in completing their household chores.
I agree with all what readers have put forward on this topic, as the conditions of life and their facilities such as: the provision of a service delivery service, and the availability of servants and others have made all members of the house from parents and children who are reluctant to carry out housing themselves, as it was agreed with their presentation of the need to teach children home skills, and the best way for each person responsible for some work such as arranging his private room and cleaning them, whether parents or children, and praised the en. Ahmed bin Muhammad Al -Banna, through which he stressed the importance of the role of civil society to develop the capabilities of children in homework skills. The circumstances of life change from one state to another, and we must prepare our children for all circumstances, we still mention the saying of the Commander of the Faithful Omar bin Al -Khattab, may God be pleased with him:
