When we say that a child (usually girls) from an early age should be taught needlework, often have in mind learning sewing or knitting, as it is considered to be the most useful type of needlework. And, in general, whether we need these skills the modern woman? Of course, because it opens opportunities to dress himself and his family the way you want and still save on wardrobe, especially children.
In addition, the ability to sew or knit, and may well be the additional income to the family budget. However, this is not all the arguments "for", but enough of them. "Against" a lot less. But if every girl (girl, woman) can teach it? Why, even after passing the mandatory home economics classes at school, some continue to do needlework with delight, while others forget about them once and for all? Understand need the following:
Blame character. Sew, knit only people with a certain character and inclinations warehouse. Even little girls are divided into those who play with the finished clad doll, and those who are cut off in a flash to the new doll skirt piece of the first vending tissue. Then, growing up, some looking at magazines and in the mind of them, the question about the price, while others speculate "how to sew." Some fashion magazines, by the way, this phenomenon is taken into account and given along with instructions on how to sew the finished price of similar models. So, to teach the first category is useless. It is neither good nor bad, it's just a fact, and that's it. And second, it happens, and to teach is not necessary - you see, they are to the 15 years already take orders from classmates.
Should be taught properly. It is important to strike a balance between rigor and pleasure. Girl can not be forced to train on an infinitely worthless rag, practicing skills. It's boring and turning into obyazalovke. We should be allowed to have the first small ability to put into practice. The same skirt for the doll whet interest and then it will be an incentive to move forward. On the other hand, close your eyes you can just minor flaws and blemishes. Noticeable error needs to be corrected, even if you have to redo the work several times. Otherwise, "self-made" kind of ready-made things can not be avoided.
Charisma teacher. As in any other case, it is of great importance of the teacher personality. If the same teacher of economics really wants to learn to sew, it certainly will come up that make instead of the notorious calico gown. Well, who is it now, who needs it? Similarly, not teenage girls.
Genetic memory. It is believed that the ability to needlework passed through generations. That is, not from mother to daughter and from grandmother to granddaughter. Statement, of course, controversial. But if you think logically... Mom sheathes daughter why that tense and learn to sew? Perhaps this is the correct explanation. Or maybe not. Ironically, I looked around, did you see on your friends - it is.
