Something I love that my parents gave me is to value practical skills. It was important to know how to do things that make you independent and capable of taking care of yourself and others in a very practical way. Below you'll find staple recipes, DIY's, and step-by-step guides on basic life skills. The goal is to promote resourcefulness.
Knowing how to maintain things means that they last longer, knowing how to make things means you can customize something to your liking or save money. Below are all very practical skills that I will make sure that my kids have.
I want my kids to feel the same sort of independence and empowerment that I felt growing up knowing that I could handle something breaking down or that I could have enough confidence in my abilities to attempt to make something.
The great thing about having practical skills is that it snowballs. Once you've conquered one project, you'll feel you could probably handle others. It's wonderful. Send me a message and let me know what practical skill you think are important.
