A short YouTube video by Hinesh Chauhan (uploaded Mar 22, 2024) reflecting on the end of winter and urging parents to involve their children in seasonal household and car tasks (e.g., changing winter tires, raking, weeding, dethatching, garden prep) to teach resourcefulness and self-sufficiency.
Spring is here, but only in theory because where I'm at it is still snowing outside and that makes me really unhappy and questions yet again. Why didn't my parents immigrate here? And why do I live in a place where winter lasts six months a year? I can't take it. It's really really hard. I am not genetically built for this. Anyway, I digress. Winter time ending to spring means that there's work to be done as a homeowner or a car owner. For us we have winter tires. That's a great opportunity to get your kids to help you out with it. Or to rake out the garden, pick out weeds, dethatch things, prep a garden. So I want to hear from you in the comments below. Tell me what do you do where you and your kids do together or that you're considering getting them to help you now and teach them? Because at the end of the day, we want our kids to be resourceful and to be able to do things for themselves, right?
