Teaching from young / myLot

July 24, 2021 3:41am CST

The owner of the stall in front of my house is a single mother with two boys. She works hard to raise her sons. They're also taught to help at her stall. Just now I saw the eldest which is around 12 years old frying banana fritters. They would also help with other cooking process and clean the plates when customers could dine in before. I think the boys could open a stall or restaurant of their own with the skills they're learning now.

They need to learn quickly, so that they can find a way to help their mother and to help themselves in the future. I am sure they will be able to have a small restaurant soon.

The boys, being boys, are playful most of the time. Noisy too

But they also help their mom a lot.

@prinzcy maybe he put aside his play, by helping his parents which was more beneficial to him and his family.

@cacay1 I think its like every time. through history. We do have a lot more distractions than any other time in history but you get bored of video games and actually want to do something with your life. Not everyone but as always I think enough will and plus the political games they playing here the youth cannot afford to just play video games all day because if they have their way no video games will be allowed. Just work for the rich man.

Good for her, it is important for children to learn practical skills. And this made me laugh because I just read a post by @YuleimaVzla on a similar subject!

I'm still with the heat waves. I observed that my two boys disorganized the whole house that previously with high heat I had to clean as I usually do....

I haven't reach this post. But I agree with her. Cleaning and all that got nothing to do with gender.

Perhaps they're used to it. They mature a bit more than other kids.

By Notlilie @prinzcy Sounds good that the boys are helping and could one day open a stall or restaurant of their own.

Nothing is easy unless we're born with silver spoon and a pot of gold. We have to work for it. What I'm hoping is what they learn now will help them later on.

I think so too. even that boys and girls will be able to build a business that does not escape the upbringing of their parents in their childhood or productive period.
