What Skills Are You Teaching Your Kids ?
-
most of those mentioned here are not strictly "skills" LOL
The skills i’ll teach them:
Martial Arts. Beat those who oppose you into submission.
Fishing, hunting and survival skills. Be the last one standing when everyone else is dead.
Music and Art. Keeps you sane in an insane world. -

Martial Arts - Does the kid's particulars hv to be submitted to Police? Cos during my times, those learning it must submit.
Fishing - I think my kids are more like BAITS to the fish
Hunting - Does chasing after cockroaches count? Take after Mummy hehehe
Music - Both r backseat singers but can tell Mummy that her singing can bring the \"house down\"
Art - Doddling counted? -
another one to teach them after they turn 18. How to hold their liquor well, remain sober after 12 beers at least.

Wow - quite a bunch of good replies !!
Another 2 to add for myself:
(1) Be Honest - Better to be corrected now than to keep on spinning lies to cover the original lie. And it is ok to be wrong sometimes cos nobody is perfect.
(2) Fight Addiction (aka Mind Over Body) - Any addiction, over-eating, smoking, TV. Master your body and not the other way around. -
UncleLim:
And it is ok to be wrong sometimes cos nobody is perfect.
Nobody's perfect, but I won't say it's ok to be wrong. Be contrite, get over it, and don't do wrong again.
\"Now go and stand in that corner for 20 mins.\" LOL kidding -
fishing? can but not in the literal sense.
must be able to do it w/o the vuctim realising or even better, with a willing victim, coming in with both eyes open. :evil:
(why i said this? cos sashimi always \"complains\" tt tt's how i \"hooked\" him. LOL) -
Hi,
For myself, I always remind my kids dont let anybody to touch their body... even is their teacher / grandparent / uncle / auntie.. Must inform me if have such matter! Esp when my boy go public toilet by himself, always scare have \"tiko pek pek\" to touch him...
There are too many incidents which little girl / boy molest by relatives/neighbour who you know ....
Of coz this is not a skill.. haha -
Hi FussyMummy, that’s a really good point.
My mom kept stressing on this since I was very young. She also stressed about not talking to/following strangers and not eating food (esp drink) offer by strangers. -
1. Karma - for every action, theres a reaction.
2. Learn from everyone around you, for everyone is different.
3. For everything bad that happens, theres a good side to it. Vice-versa.
4. Life is how you live it, not what others tell you about it.
5. Enjoy what you hv, earn what you want.
Thats all for now… -
MLR:
I'm not so sure about this one. Humans (not just kids) have an uncanny knack of learning all the bad things, not only the good ones. Or especially not the good ones LOL
