(84,711 posts)like that with the Younger Ones...gives me hope. We did a lot of that in the late 60's and early 70's and it was very worthwhile. We have to keep the "Creative Skills ALIVE!" They might be needed in the coming years, creatively...to be a resourse for "independence" when things "get tighter" with materials available. Those are SKILLS that shouldn't be let to languish just because WE ARE ALL ON COMPUTERS... There are Other Things in Life that have VALUE...and the value comes and goes... But... TIMES CHANGE... and skills in DEMAND often come an go in Value...
Learning to be INDEPENDENT...is something that we should never lose sight of and if we can each some of our children who have an interest that this is valuable and they shouldn't be ashamed of their interest is a good thing. It takes many different "skills" to survive and it isn't always Military/Sports/Wall Street Skills...but basic, grounding and creative, intuitive skills that make "The Difference." imho....
