Young urban children and the risk of "take root"

The home of the slave tingle happy Halloween, Christmas than the Mid-Autumn Festival. Children know the foreign holidays more than holidays in Vietnam
LearningEnglish from 4 to 5 years old, watching movies, reading overseas fans the famous pop star in Europe, like Halloween, Christmas or New Year than the Mid-Autumn Spectacular, urban children are in danger of being "westernized" on Vietnamese soil.
Hong Anh Baby - 2nd grade elementary school Hong Ha - Hoan Kiem - Hanoi is giving away her clothes from Santa Claus a week before Christmas. Noel asked what day, she would do in the dark Christmas gift for someone, write a greeting to his mother how he responded rim wall, but when asked about the upcoming New Year, baby you know what to do in Tet not Hong Anh "suck seed market" always.
These cases are not rare Hong Anh in Hanoi and other major cities like Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City. Along with economic development, culture of other countries into Vietnam and is becoming increasingly popular.
Little kid stories students love to be her reward for eating KFC, Pizza, Pepsi last week rather than go to museums, the park is so familiar in many homes with conditions. They also learn the way of life, her style of modern schoolboy in England, America, France, like to wear wide trousers, dancing Hiphop, understanding of Graffiti, but when it came to he, the much troubled water while shaking his head and for the first time be heard.Vietnam Children in urban areas tend to know more Western holidays.

But, when New Year comes, try asking a few little known, thin one who will come home first, the dish is usually cooked in the New Year?
Children just like a blank sheet of paper. All acts, gestures of the children only formed and maintained when the influence, the influence of adults. The house, a slave who tingle happy Halloween, Christmas than the Mid-Autumn Festival. The day of Tet, as do all year is too busy, tired, many families choose to register for foreign travel, sleep in fast food and call home for help takes time to cook, clean up. So who is to teach children the customs of Vietnam?
I know a boss of a big business. Extra strength to his family for a child to an international school tuition costs thousands of dollars a month. But he's still the right school for your child online, that is a primary school close to home, like any other children for fear of which had no history of Vietnam, Vietnam geography, customs and their country, but soon lost the original.
Literacy for children, what should be trained to a large hammer, books, other documents it. Lifestyle habits of adults is a great example, for children to realize the core values of their traditions and beauty of the Vietnamese lifestyle.
