[quote=Anonymous]Enabling opportunities for them to try/explore different interests whether its sports, life skills (art, cooking, glass blowing), social organizations (scouts, cultural), etc. I book experiences and trips throughout the year instead of buying stuff. We visit farms during the different seasons to pick our own food. During our summer vacation this year we will go rafting, hiking, and visit local museums. We go skiing every year in different places. I encourage them to volunteer for causes important to them, emphasize working hard and doing well in school and get extra help if they need it, learning life skills (communicating, getting a job, doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, yard work, paying bills), guide them in learning what it means to a "good" friend/sibling/spouse/child/employee/human.
