what are you teaching your children?
I was just wondering what everyone else is teaching there kids.
Not the basics like reading, writing, math etc, but the personal things you have learned over the years and want to make sure your offspring learn from you.
Me, I have two boys (unfortunately one's a Quadriplegic, non verbal) but I am teaching my sons the following
Chivalry: Stand when a woman joins or leaves the table, open doors, give up your seat on the bus etc. Maybe sexist but they are learning to do it anyways
Basic understanding of the use of hand tools including hammer, saws and automotive tools, It's also includes knowledge about things like how a wall is framed and how the internal combustion engine works
Cook your own food. Both my kids know how to cook and one can and already does.
My kids are also learning the power of the vote. They see their parents do it ever election, local to Federal
I'm not a hunter but I imagine to some gun respect is important.
I'd be interested to find what else people are making sure their children are learning from them personally?
