I’m a recovering perfectionist, so when little hands get involved and the project doesn’t come out the way I had hoped, sometimes that makes me shriek a little inside. However, I know that if I want my kids to ever learn how to do anything for themselves, I must be willing to let them help, be an example for them, and teach them.
Even if they are just holding the flashlight, or helping me screw in a few screws with the drill, or holding the twigs together while I zip tie them for our new trellises, these are all little opportunities to bond, make memories, and teach my kiddos valuable lessons.
