Research Abstract

The formation of life skills is an important factor when facing the educational problems of today's children. The goal of this research is to analyze the life process in the daily environment of children and the educational role of domestic and communal environments of adults.
The results of the survey showed that, as a base for the development of life skills of children, the domestic environment was largely inefficient. By now, as the role and function that was formerly held by home and the neighborhood are becoming weaker and weaker, there is a growing tendency for the parents to require an easy and standardized method for raising children. This research provides material to support such hypothesis.
