Children watching the work of adults: the daughter - for the crafts of mothers, the sons - for the mastery of the fathers, - gradually they themselves tried to participate in the process and help. So gradually acquiring life skills as early as the first life span - a musket, by the age of 12 girls became good helpers to mothers, and boys - young dzhigits. The upbringing of the girl was initially directed more towards the family, instilling in her the main family values, much more attention was paid to the education of the boy, since he was to become the head of the family, to solve complex economic issues.
Another characteristic feature of the Kazakh people is its cohesion, mutual assistance and mutual assistance. The inhabitants of one aul have always been like one big family. If someone was in trouble, the neighbors and relatives would always try to help. They helped out with "the whole world." The rule for any Kazakh is never to leave relatives and relatives in distress, to preserve the honor and dignity of their family and clan.
In modern Kazakhstan, many customs have lost their relevance, due to changes in rhythm and lifestyle, as well as under the influence of historical factors. Women have become more emancipated and do not necessarily completely devote themselves to the family and children, but strive to reach career heights on a par with men. This custom, like bride theft, happens, but in most cases with the consent of the bride, when for example the parents of the bride against the wedding. If such a fact happens without the consent of the girl, then there are a number of criminal articles providing for punishment depending on the article being incriminated. But many customs and traditions are on the contrary reborn from oblivion. This - the childish customs associated with the birth of a child and wedding. It became fashionable to hold a traditional Kazakh wedding in the national wedding dress of the bride and groom, observing the main stages of the traditional wedding ceremony. Wedding dresses though has undergone changes, but in the modern dress elements of the Kazakh ornament, coloring of an image as a whole are traced. On the head of the bride again put on saukele. National crafts such as felting, jewelry, leather dressing, making musical instruments, etc. are being revived. All this testifies to the vital interest, first of all, of the young generation towards the history of their own people.
