RE: 'Lost' Skills: Teaching the next generation important life skills that many have forgotten...
i admire anyone who can use a sewing machine - i've tried and tried, and that wretched bobbin has it out for me!
i think it's important for children, especially now with being surrounded by avenues for instant gratification, to accept "boredom" ... it allows for time to daydream & be creative. to find ways to entertain yourself with books, or to come up with adventures out in the yard. aside from useful life skills like you had mentioned, which are imperative. COOKING, YES!!
I totally agree! You have to let them be bored! Dont always come up with activities, let them be bored and let the creative juices start flowing and you will be amazed with what they can come up with. :D
Haha, I know what you mean, that bobbin is a spiteful little thing!
