What I Want To Teach My Children

I have a list of things that I want to teach my children so that they can function on their own as adults. This list would be the same for boys and girls.

• How to do basic household repairs and improvements (plumbing, electrical, decorating, etc.)
• How to plant and maintain a garden and lawn
• Managing a budget and living within it
• Long-term financial planning
• How to plan, cook, and serve basic healthy meals
• Basic baking
• Repairing and maintaining clothes and linens (inc. replacing buttons, sewing a seam, hemming, ironing, and laundry)
• Power tool operation and safety
• Household cleaning.
