Johnny D we hold our kids close and teach them values. I have 4 daughters and they all have kids (9) we are a “family” they have respect for all of us. My parents kept us in line and we had to obey them or we got it.
Today kids roam on their own and no supervision! Parents leave it up to the schools! That is crap! Teaching starts in the home.
last night was and example, taught one l how to stoke a fire and then we roasted chestnuts. We sat outside and talked. He asked why am I getting smoke in my eyes, then I thought him about wind direction! Can we roast marshmallows, yes go find some, he did and and was going to hold them over the fire NO we need skewers. Do we have any? Yes we do.
He told me he will always remember what we did. he’d did burn the skewer a few times, they were mini mellows.
It was fun and I’m sure he will cherish what he learned.
A lesson and it was fun.
