Such great ideas! Our 13 year old has been dog walking for 3 years now - time management for work and school commitments, communications with clients (she uses my email/WhatsApp), money management. The envelope system has worked wonderfully (long term savings, short term, tithes, spending money). Thank you for all of your wisdom! My challenge is letting little into the kitchen.

Thank you. The list is a great help. I have totally overlooked ‚talking on the phone‘.

I would like to add a category:
First aid / basic med skills

Cleaning wounds, treating colds, what to do if somebody has a concussion, fever, broken leg, when and how to call a doctor, how to recognize strokes or heart attacks, natural herbs, when and how to use antibiotics, when not to move a body, etc.

Great video! You covered a lot. Mine are just at the age where they want to learn how to wash dishes and do the laundry from start to finish.

Love ❤️ your video!! Great list of skills… I think our kids should be able to do things without any electronics devices.

I just found your channel. I'm pregnant with baby number 6 and we homeschool. And now I want peach cobbler 😆😆

I’m really enjoying your advice and encouragement for big families. Thank you. I’m newly subscribed here. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling. It’s fun to get to know likeminded homeschooling moms like you!
