Girls are a big help especially with the preparation for large family gatherings where there are a lot of dishes going around and a lot of cleaning later. Girls are encouraged early on to learn family recipes so that later on they can pass on the tradition of excellent dishes once they start their own families.

Polish girls are brought up to have great respect for their culture and tradition. This education usually begins at home. The parents and grandparents make the girls aware of a sense of patriotism and loyalty to their own country.
