Q1

I just asked my grandmother about my mother she said: “your mother lived in a very simple life. even she’s the youngest one she really works hard to satisfy me and her father. she was cooking, cleaning, sheep grazing at early morning. she also was interesting in sewing but she was sewing in her free time. I gave her time to do what she want. I organise her time, not just for her! for each of my sons and daughters. you know, that’s all teach her some characters from when she was young. such as, independent, self caring, self confidence and responsibility. even the life was hard in the past but they know well how to let their children learn from the life and how they will be successful and be a good leader in the future.”

Q2

My mother said that: “I raised you, your sisters and brothers with so many goals  because gaols are dreams with a plan for realization. as you’re the biggest one I want you to be a model for your sisters. one of the must goals that I want to achieve it is: I was leaving you to play outside with others, to collaborate with them, and to come and go because I was know that “children learn more by doing and watching and interacting with others”

"Sociocultural theory” 

social interaction plays a fundamental role in the process of cognitive development. Vygotsky felt social learning precedes development. He states: “Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level. first, between people and then inside the child ”.

 

my mother told me she lived a beautiful childhood with her brothers and her friends , it was a very simple life , but fun to spend time in Playing with her friends and home management matters in the absence of her mother in grazing sheep , and my grandmother was learning my mom responsibility in cooking and raising children to become or successful in the future.

Q2

In this question she was bringing up her children gradually through the positions and the stories of the lesson and to take advantage of them , and she teach them in accordance with the customs and traditions and My mother is keen to teach literature, and not to boycott others when you talk and urging them to prayer and reading the Koran .

• Sociocultural theory :

The work of sociocultural theory is to explain how individual mental functioning is related to cultural, institutional, and historical context; hence, the focus of the sociocultural perspective is on the roles that participation in social interactions and culturally organized activities play in influencing psychological development. 

Sociocultural theory.

Raising an independent child is one of the most effective ways to generate a good generation

I asked my grandmother and she said that they lived a very simple life, they couldn’t play or enjoy their childhood and because they do marry in a very young age her mother only taught her how to be a good house wife.

b) “How did you raise your children?”

Her answer was that she tried her best to raise her children equally even my uncle who was a special need child she treated him like the others and gave him love and tried to teach herself how to read so she can teach her child. She supported all of her children’s in their education and almost all of them reached a high level in their education. She didn’t take her parents as a role model to raise their children she believes that every generation is different because of the  changing in the society. 

 Reflection:

 

 As from the Bioelogical theory, involving family in and taking education seriously in important, and parents have to raise their children according on the changes in the society, environment as its different from how they were raised in the past. 

I asked my mum about her childhood , she said that she had difficult childhood because her father died when she was child and her mother not that much educate , she have to care about her sisters and brothers also she cook for them and wash clothes and she married when she was 17 

Q2

My mother seek to be different than her mother , she hope to educate her child and have a good environment to raise us .

 

Reflect :

According to Vygotsky , the children knowledge is derived from their culture. Family members provide  knowledge with children about culture and show them what is our cultural. So every parent should be as a friend with their child to teach them everything in good way.

Secondly, she care about our education and she tried to make us love education to not feel that  she force us to learn also to be happy child and having great appartunity to play and learn .Thirdly,  build our knowledge and solving problems. Lastly, she told me that she tired her best to make us love each other carring about each other as a family she and my father always think and plan for our future to be best child also they want  us better than them .

Reflection: 
According to "vigotsky" in sociocultural theory it is very important to have the social learning first and then individual learning in that way the child will learn in a wider better way.

 

She lived in a strict environment where her mother used to set the roles, while her father was soft on them; she was the only child till age 15. They both worked in balance in raising her and her brother and the main thing she remember was her mother teaching on being “kind” where she always taught them is: “be kind to one another especially to the people who work for you, be kind to them. There are people who are less fortunate than you are, never hurt anybody’s feelings “ and these were the basic points that she was brought up on. Her mother also used to say that “whatever you do to others remember it will come back on you so if you keep this in mind you will never hurt any one.” She also raised them on other values of honesty integrity and love and etc. 

Both of her parents shared the responsibility of raising their children where they respected one another, she remembered that when she used to ask her father to play outside her father always used to ask her if she spoke with her mother and what did she say if she told her previously that she should not go then he will tell her that there must be a reason behind her mom decision and will subsequently tell her to stay home.

As for the financial part her mother used to stay at home while her father was an army man before he retired and owned a land and started making money out of it. They use to live in a small village when she reached the aged of 15 they moved into the city , her mother educated her at home where in those days women where not allowed to go out and study and her great grand father was very strict with that idea. ” I never went to school and never entered a classroom, “ she said. Her mother was an educated woman she used to take all the subject syllabus from school and teach her just like any school student where she made her open her book at 10 o’clock and stop at lunch break and at 4 o’clock shell leave her to play. Just like a school 

 

She also lived in a family atmosphere where her uncle and Ant where around they all used to gather at breakfasts, lunch’s and dinners on one table. 

 

Overall she lived a balanced childhood even though of her mother and father having problems it never came across her as a child where they used to keep there problems always from there children. Here mother and father came from a mixed marriage where her father came from a religion different than her mom. Therefor she used to understand where the problems might come from. However her mother never made her feel it where she always followed her father roles and she was brought up as a Muslim.

 

 

She and her husband came from the same religion and they had the same values and they stuck to the same things. They used to have the same family rituals that she had as a child where they sat all together on one table and discussed different things even though her children never had the chance to meet there family where she lived half of her life in London before moving to UAE. Even though, she always emphasized the importance of family to her children and she raised them on loving and caring for one another.

And as for the children discipline she followed her mother lead in sharing the responsibilities with her husband where they shared it all.

 

Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning."

 

Where her experience with the society that she was brought up to and the values she learned from her mom shapes her meaning of a “ family “ and her role as a mother and that’s why she followed most of her mothers lead in raising her children.
