[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm trying to teach my own kids and my dad's Girl Scout troop was the skill of being willing to try. Now that we have Google and YouTube all you really need is enough faith in yourself to try something. So when my kids ask me if I can hem their pants or bake a cake that looks like a geode my response is "i don't know how yet but i bet we can figure it out." 9 times out of 10 we figure it out, have fun and save money doing it ourselves. The more tangible things I have taught my kids is how to cook basic meals, clean the house, do yard work, wash a car, do the laundry (including what goes in the dryer and what doesn't for everyone in the house) how to comparison shop, how and why to write a thank you note and the value of reading a book before you watch the movie. My husband is teaching our kids how to save money, how to pay bills, how to treat employees if you are the boss and lots of home repair skills.[/quote] Dad's = dd[/quote]
