9. Simple healthcare
Knowing how to self-diagnose simple medical problems and what over-the-counter medicines to take.
10. Good manners
We adults know that good manners will get you everywhere in life. Basic manners such as please and thank you will help your kid make good first impressions.
11. Domestic duties
Your kid does not need to be a neat freak, but should know that when co-habiting, they need to clean up after themselves, always! Doing their dishes, washing, house tidying and putting away will keep them good with their mates. Also what to do when small household emergencies arise like a clogged toilet, how to turn the water off at the mains or change a light bulb.
As parents, it’s our job to give our kid good life skills (not the education system). What we do and how we teach them in their early years will set them up for life.
What skills would you add to the list?
Very tasty, thankyou!
