From the fathers.com weekly emailing (9/19/08)
● Challenge your children to come up with 5 things they'd like to learn before they leave home.
● Talk with your children's mother about an age-appropriate goal or skill for each of your children to learn (and for you to work on with them) during the next month—tying shoe laces, doing dishes, mowing the grass, finding useful information on the Internet.
● Give your children a glimpse of your budget and regular bills you pay, so they gain a better understanding of how much it costs just to keep the lights on and food in the pantry.
● No matter what your child’s age, recruit him or her to assist you this weekend as you take care of a home maintenance task.
● Help your kids find authors that they love to read.
● Encourage your children to study the Proverbs, where they can see that some lessons are thousands of years old.
