18 things every child should be taught

 

There are things that every kid should learn as they grow up. Some of these things are simple matters of convenience. Others may just save a few dollars. More importantly – some may just save the kids life.

As a parent – or maybe a grandparent – it is your responsibility to make sure that kids are prepared for life. With that in mind here are 18 things that each kid should be taught:

  • Stand up for yourself
  • Build a fire
  • Jump start a car
  • Check your oil
  • Hammer a nail
  • Handle a gun
  • Plant a seed, grow a vegetable, and eat it
  • How to shake hands
  • How to manage money
  • Keep your commitments – you are not judged on your intentions, you are judged on your actions
  • How to determine how much to tip
  • Set up a camp site
  • How to fish
  • How to handle losing, and winning
  • How to respect your elders
  • Respect the environment
  • Cook a steak to perfection
  • How and when to fight
  • How to have integrity & honor
  • Change a tire

No doubt the list could go on and on. What do you think should be added to the list?
