Self-caring of primary school kids

gifthoney

People nowadays say that HK kids are weak in self-caring.  I just wonder what is the normal ability of a normal kid.  Would you please share at what age will your kids do the following?

1.  take a bath on their own
2.  wash hair on their own
3.  tie shoelaces
4.  clean "pat pat" after "boo boo"
5.  tidy up school bag
6.  cook rice using a rice cooker
7.  cook an instant noodle

Thanks for sharing.

Hi 仔仔錫錫你, your son is very smart and can do so many things.  Do you mind sharing which school he will join finally?

香港KIDS無自理能力、我相信大部分是因為有工人貼身跟住、所以才養成不自理的習慣、要做的時候、我相信一定做到的。　　只要父母出声叫工人不要太貼身就OK。　　我反而看到很多小朋友没有EATING MANNERS、状況厳重、如狼呑虎嚥、又或者食野時不合口、発出声音。　　EATING　MANNERS真係靠家教、父母責任。　壊習慣形成了、好難改。

Agree!!  It is not a matter of ability, but a matter of habit.  So I guess the kids from those families without a domestic helper will be more independent.  But the fact is, most families nowadays hire a domestic helper.  And, parents usually ask the helper to serve the kid (otherwise it seems that the helper is not playing her role.)  As a result, the kids have no chance to learn to be independent.

無工人根本無得依頼、就算有、都係看父母点安排、有Ｄ「小朋友」根本身形巨形過印印、但係一落校車就比個書包個工人、有時真係看不過眼、、、、。

上面有人説３歳人仔就做家務、都係貪玩多、非常可愛、如果将来ＫＥＥＰ住就好了。

" We need random samples.  Here, those who have P6 kids who cannot tie their shoe laces will NOT answer your questions. "  Agree.

So, if we wish to know the normal ability of kids based on their development, is there any reference from a better survey (e.g. by Government?  by child health authorities?)

過到自己関、就OK　LA.　　不用着意SURVEY　LA。　　都応該係COMMON　SENSE。　　以前我７、８歳用火水炉煮面、亜MA話OK。　　宜家一定比人話無危険意識。　　毎個家庭都有把尺、総之 common sense.

Your kids seems more smart then mine.

My daughter - 7 years P.2

1.  take a bath on their own  ==> 6 year
2.  wash hair on their own ==> 6.5 years (long hair)
3.  tie shoelaces ==> learn at K.3 but no chance to practice , I guess not yet
4.  clean "pat pat" after "boo boo"  ==> 5.5 year (summer holiday before P.1)
5.  tidy up school bag  ==> P.1
6.  cook rice using a rice cooker  ==> not yet
7.  cook an instant noodle  ==> not yet

因屋企灶位較高,囡囡高度未夠, 我暫時無打算比佢學煮食.... 等佢身高150cm 以上才考慮比佢用火和熱水.

其他家務:
洗碗 : 5.5 yr
摺衫 : 5 yr
晒衫 (把濕衫掛入衣架+ 衣夾) : 5 yr
摺被: 7 yr

阿仔唔叻, 只係我地肯放手比佢做, 基本上14個月大我地已經要佢收拾玩具(工人不可幫手), 所以在家中他是最有"手尾"的人.  就算趕住出街佢都會堅持先收拾玩具.  依家每個月都會自己走去洗波鞋及更換床單!  講真, 呢d事個個小朋友都做到, 只係父母覺得有工人又何必要自己動手咁傻!  有時間不如上多幾個英文/公文數/國語重好!

讀邊間小一無謂講喇, 只可以說有幸入到我們最心儀的dss 龍校.  不過我地仍會努力去叩某村校, 好讓兩兄妹可一同讀書方便照顧(妹妹讀緊n2).  現在考慮應否考劍橋試作提高叩門機會,因不想大細辛苦.

係呀佢地真係玩架!  好似開洗衣机，涼衫＋摺衫每星期最少玩兩次, 玩左差不多近2年, 玩左無200次都一定有180次以上, 睇怕重會玩多2年先停手.  講開又講, 女仔真係比男仔細心d, 妹妹每次涼衫前都會先把衫反好才涼衫(無人教佢咁做), 哥哥只會摺衫時才會把衫反好.
