In developing countries, parents are often accustomed to teaching their children many of life’s necessary skills. This may include cooking, gathering wood, fetching water, farming, fishing, and bartering at the market.
Arengumaades on tavaline, et vanemad õpetavad oma lastele kõike argielus vajaminevat, näiteks seda, kuidas süüa teha, kütet koguda, vett hankida, maad harida, kala püüda, turul kaubelda jne.
