In the village, Hani families build their own closed house compound protected by thick muddy walls. There are about six people of two or three generations living in a house.

Normally, two small bedrooms are on either side of the common room. The bedroom of the head of the house is on the left side of the great room, while the room for a son and his future wife is on the right. Father-in-law and older brothers-in-law are not allowed to enter the couple's room.

Traditionally, when the parents die, the bed in the daughter-in-law's room is removed to make room for the coffin. The couple sleep on the floor of the common room with other family members. After the funeral, the couple return to their bedroom, or move to the parents' bedroom if they are the oldest son and daughter-in-law. Their widowed mother or father will sleep in the common room.

Trong làng, các gia đình Hani xây dựng khu nhà khép kín của riêng mình được bảo vệ bởi những bức tường dày bùn. Có khoảng sáu người thuộc hai hoặc ba thế hệ sống trong một ngôi nhà.

Thông thường, hai phòng ngủ nhỏ nằm ở hai bên của phòng sinh hoạt chung. Phòng ngủ của trưởng phòng ở bên trái của đại phòng, còn phòng của con trai và vợ tương lai ở bên phải. Bố vợ và anh rể không được phép vào phòng của hai vợ chồng.

Theo truyền thống, khi cha mẹ qua đời, giường trong phòng của con dâu được dỡ bỏ để nhường chỗ cho quan tài. Hai vợ chồng ngủ trên tầng của phòng sinh hoạt chung với các thành viên khác trong gia đình. Sau tang lễ, vợ chồng trở về phòng ngủ của mình, hoặc chuyển về phòng ngủ của bố mẹ nếu là con trai cả và con dâu. Cha hoặc mẹ góa của họ sẽ ngủ trong phòng chung.

Relationships in Vietnamese family are more complicated than those of Western countries. The majority of families in Vietnam are extended families as many generations co-live to take care of each other. Family in Vietnam looks similar to a system of mini society with the most elderly having the strongest voice and taking charge of most activities in house. Each family has its own rules and values that members are supposed to conform with. The younger generation shows respect for the older generation and vice versa, the old generation tolerates the young. In the relationships between parents and children, and between husband and wife as well, traditional Vietnamese retain much of their long established customs and values. Traditional Vietnamese meal - dining on the floor with the whole extended family Although influenced by Chinese culture and Confucianism, in the eyes of children, Vietnamese mothers still have the same status as their counterparts. They are the embodiments of love, of self-denial and of sacrifice. For Vietnamese parents, their children are their most valuable assets; therefore, within their financial capacity, most of them are eager to have as many children as they can.

Ethnic minority children might live the life different from that of most Kinh children. They spend some of their time helping their parents inside and outside the house. They learn to work from an early age, usually at six. Girls help look after the house, care for smaller children, weave clothing, and prepare food. Boys learn to do what their fathers do. They grow crops, raise the family's livestock, and catch fish.

In the evening, the family often gathers round the open fire. Children listen to stories or legends of heroes from their grandparents. They also listen to adults talk about their work. This is how the elders pass on traditions and knowledge to their children.

Nowadays, more and more minority children are going to school. There, they meet children from other ethnic groups. They play new games and learn new things.

Tạm dịch: 

Trẻ em dân tộc thiểu số có thể sống cuộc sống khác với hầu hết trẻ em người Kinh. Họ dành thời gian của họ để giúp đỡ cha mẹ trong và ngoài nhà. Họ học cách làm việc từ khi còn nhỏ, thường là lúc sáu tuổi. Các bé gái giúp trông nhà, chăm sóc trẻ nhỏ, dệt quần áo và chuẩn bị thức ăn. Con trai học cách làm những việc mà cha các em ấy làm. Họ trồng trọt, chăn nuôi gia súc và đánh bắt cá.

Buổi tối, gia đình thường quây quần cùng nhau bên bếp lửa hồng. Trẻ em lắng nghe những câu chuyện hoặc truyền thuyết về các anh hùng từ ông bà của mình. Các em cũng lắng nghe người lớn nói về công việc của họ. Đây là cách những người lớn tuổi truyền lại truyền thống và kiến thức cho con cháu của họ.

Ngày nay, ngày càng có nhiều trẻ em dân tộc thiểu số được đến trường. Ở đó, các em được gặp những đứa trẻ từ những dân tộc khác. Họ chơi những trò chơi mới và học hỏi những điều mới từ nhau.
