Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. In this content i want to share about that lately i am teaching my son another lesson beside subjects like math, english, reading,writing, etc. That is Survival Kit. At first, i just thinking that soon or later i cannot with my son forever. And i dont know this is too early or not but i think if my son started interested about the lesson for his independent life i will teach him directly. No need to waiting until he juvenile. And today he want to learn how to cook the rice. I said to him that cooking rice is kinda easy. I showing hip that we are usually using Rice Cooker to cooking rice. So, it will be easy for everyone. First of all, i showing him Inner Pot that placed inside the rice cooker. Then i showing him where the rice that we usually place. Then i telling him how much we need to cook the rice and then we need to wash the rice first before cooking the rice. I telling him that because sometimes we dont know whats inside the rice bag and sometimes mites or even bug can hiding in the rice. Thats why we need to clean it. At least the bug or mites can died by drowning in water.
After i giving example how to clean up the rice, he want to try and yeah the sink is kinda tall for him. So, he need to climb on his chair to reach the sink. And then he practice what i am doing and Voila he did really good. And what makes me proud he said that he need to clean more than one time before cook because he said the water still muddy.
After i look the water kinda clear, i telling my son to stop and then i tell him to fill water until reach the second on his finger joint. That the easy ways because i dont have measure cup to telling him the exactly water that we need. So at least he know. And then i am still afraid that he can be reckless when dealing with electricity. So, after all set, me myself that turning on the rice cooker and my son did click the cook button. And then i said to him that we need to wait until the rice cooker making sound and we can smell the rice cooked. And then i telling him that we need to open it carefully because the steam is really hot after cooked.
I think i need giving him lesson about life like this more often besides training him how to read and writting. That because he already learn it on school about how to write and read. But, i dont think school teaching how to survive on himself. I think parents that need to resposible about this survival kit lesson. I really dont remember how my parents teaching me how to survive. And i dont know exactly how can i survive all the time. It is like automatically running on my life. Even when i am asking my mom how she teaching me how to survive, she said that she already forget. But, maybe my parents just teaching me and my brother by making example at home and it embedded on our subconscious. Thats why i can do it automatically. Or maybe i need to copy what my parents do so that my son can copying me how to do it. But, yeah i still dont know which one is better for my son. Maybe i will teaching him some of lesson. This will make me closer to my son too. And that will be my memories that cannot be repeated again in the future. Yeah like wiseman said that A mother worries about what might happen to her child. A father worries that his child won’t be able to face the world alone. Maybe that what i felt right now. I really afraid that my son will like me that cannot doing anything in the future. And i hope that will not happen. I need my son surpass me in everyway.
