Equipping Families with Practical Skills for Real Life!

This is a wonderful post and I found it very helpful. My dh and I have been struggling for a while now with how to teach our children a good work ethic and what it really looks like to work alongside them. We have a hard time figuring out what they should do and how much. We only live on less than a fifth of an acre so we dont have a lot of the big work someone else might have. We did not have any good role models and are really late in the game with this. Our older kids have bad attitudes about work becausew we thought kids should be kids and go play with toys etc while the adults work (UGH). Our 4yr old is the hardest working and we have been encouraging him to work hard since he was a wee one. Anyway, I really look forward to these inspiring posts and peeks at how other families do things. Thank you!

Thank you for letting me meet Robin! I think I will send this to Jeff as an advertisement for May???
You are blessed, Kathy, to have wonderful friends like the White family.

Kathy,
Please pass along to Robin that the testimony of their children and Scott and Robin’s diligent parenting were such a testimony to Jeff that he REALLY did google how many miles and hours it would take to get to Alabama!
Thanks for sharing about these special people in your life!

What a blessing to hear of families that work together. It is always neat to hear how others are doing it. I look forward to more on this subject and sharing it with our family. I admit we have allowed our now 5 year old to get away with not doing as much as our 8 children above him and it is showing. We were just talking about making changes in his responsibilities. To his defensive he has been begging us to give him jobs the older ones have been doing.
Thank you for inspiring others!
