Ethnic minority children might live the life different from that of most Kinh
children. They spend some of their time helping their parents inside and outside
the house. They learn to work from an early age, usually at six. Girls help look
after the house, care for smaller children, weave clothing, and prepare food.
Boys learn to do what their fathers do. They grow crops, raise the family's
livestock, and catch fish.
In the evening, the family often gathers round the open fire. Children listen to
stories or legends of heroes from their grandparents. They also listen to adults talk
about their work. This is how the elders pass on traditions and knowledge to their
children.
Nowadays, more and more minority children are going to school. There, they
meet children from other ethnic groups. They play new games and learn new
things.
