Nowadays majority of the young generation doesn't even have the skills of woodworking, plumbing, sewing and more... π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ School doesn't teach such living skills anymoreπ¨π οΈπ©βοΈβοΈποΈπ§° because it turned into full academic centric. Unlike older days before mid 90's, its part of the subject. As for me, I comes with many many skills in hand.
So for this house moving, I took this opportunity to get my son doing something. Assembling the ikea furnitures!! πππ
I taught him the proper skill on hammering. π¨π¨ It may look simple but its not.... ππ I remembered my grandma π§π¨ taught me to hammer 3 inches nail with 5-6 hits. At first my son was struggling with 20 nails.... slowly he got a hang with it.
He helped me assembled a wardrobe, a bookcase, and a glass cabinet. ππππ½ππ½ He was so happy with his achievement.
That's what people always says, "teach them while they still young".
