Old-Fashioned Skills

The world has changed so much just since I was a kid. I spent hours every day outside–playing on my own or with friends, but definitely without parents anywhere to be seen. We were an independent generation compared to the kids of today.ย 

At home, I remember learning to cook, bake, and clean the house from a pretty young age. It was just part of life. It’s not that I did a LOT of chores, but I knew how to do the basics, and it was something that I was expected to learn (and I think I WANTED to learn). What kid doesn’t want to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and then get to eat them?

I know it’s been said before, but it does feel like many young people today go into adulthood less prepared in some ways. They often don’t have the traditional skills that previous generations took for granted, and that includes social skills.

So many kids spend their days in front of screens that they haven’t learned things like how to properly introduce themselves or carry on a conversation with an older person. The fault lies with us though. If there are things our children don’t know, it’s because we haven’t taught them.ย
