RE: 'Lost' Skills: Teaching the next generation important life skills that many have forgotten...

Problem solving and independent study! I am by no means an expert at teaching my children to problem solve, but I will surely try. For our company and the many managers at businesses I work with, this has become a huge problem when hiring. You hire someone and they come into a problem and just get stuck. They are worthless when it comes to doing a job that requires any kind of thought or decision. They don't know how to study and independently search out a solution to the problem, but just get stuck. With nearly all information at the tips of our fingers, this seems like the reverse should be the case, but sadly, it isn't!

Absolutely!! Great point!
My husband is a store manager, and it frustrates him to no end when his employees cannot handle the simplest problems and he has to jump in and fix things for him.
Definitely an important life skill!!!

It really comes down to the difference between having been taught what to think, and having been taught how to think.

I think...😋
