Five useless skills that girls are still taught

In education add new technologies and techniques, use gadgets and try to make the most of the achievements of the digital world. However, despite all the innovations, many children continue to be taught outdated skills that will not bring much benefit to them in life. Quite the opposite.



Modern education of children and today the editorial board "Site" 5 useless things that go into the heads of girls at an early age. But is it worth it to raise a happy and successful person in life? Let's figure it out.

Outdated child requirements

1. "Be diligent and careful."
   The phrase “You are a girl” with subsequent claims about scattered toys, illegible handwriting or poorly folded clothes is probably remembered by many women since childhood.
   
   
   
   Worst of all, these echoes of the past still affect the educational process. And young mothers, just as they were taught in childhood, try to make their children “diligent and careful”.
   
   Who in the modern world will become such a diligent, obedient and neat girl? A successful man? Or maybe a woman who manages to please everyone at work, and feed everyone at home, and iron everyone, and put everything in place. Will this attitude make her a happy person? Hardly. And yes, beautiful handwriting in the modern world of gadgets is absolutely useless.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. "Be obedient."
   More and more people and fewer resources. As a result, competition for a place under the sun is only growing. To get your own, you have to be proactive and persistent, but definitely not obedient. The habit of listening to others does not make a person happy and successful. It will simply turn it into a convenient cog of the system, which can plug any gap. It is easier for parents to cope with an obedient child. It is easier for teachers to cope with an obedient student.
   
   It's only in old fairy tales like Cinderella or The Snow Queen. docile All the joys of the world are rewarded. In life, people will not pay so much for obedience. Rather, they will try to use it to their advantage.
   
   Therefore, let the child know how to argue, argue his point of view, defend his principles, set and achieve goals. And let, of course, learn to decide for yourself when to listen to other people and when to act in your own way.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Outdated prohibitions "Don't run."
The claim that a girl must be physically weak is about as true as the claim that she cannot be intelligent or have leadership qualities. In fact, both boys and girls benefit from physical activity. But invented prohibitions like “don’t run, you’re a girl” or “don’t climb that tree, girls can’t do this” only restrict the child every time. Which really makes him weaker physically.





"Don't fight."
The ability to protect yourself is a necessary skill that will help save your health and sometimes your life. Therefore, before reproaching a child for giving back, remember that he will have to live in a society where sometimes he will have to defend himself. Perhaps it is better to tell the girl about respect for other people, as well as about conflicts and ways to solve them. And the measures of permissible self-defense will also not be superfluous to talk.





"Be always beautiful."
Focusing on their own appearance is unlikely to help the child grow happy. Especially today, when he has to compare himself to photoshopped "perfect" people from social networks. Rather, he will earn low self-esteem, an upset digestive system and a nervous tic.





Instead of these silly demands, it is better to give the child more freedom so that he can live his life happily. childhoodHe knows that he is loved and supported anyway. And if a girl grows up happy, sociable, curious and confident, then she will find her way in life anyway. Even if it is not very careful or obedient.
