learning from a loss

[peter lena 8,632]

regular stuff to talk over an issue / problem with the grandkids , dissecting a screw up , wrong issue , is taking it apart and talking it over , its important to emphasize to learn from wrong. it won't kill you , it will embarrass you , humiliate you , make you think of next time correction . my younger grandson has learned to just step up apologize and correct the issue . he has been paying it forward  to others , with calm explanation of the fix opportunity. no shouting or confrontation , but breaking down the cause / reason . eliminating the typical sarcastic in your face stupidity , with a back and forth explanation of issue / cure , makes our talks much better , my granddaughter is also catching on , conversations are much better , and being honest / up front  with feedback , is terrific .  they like asking  about  anything , knowing we won't  add on to the issue , pete

@formariz @elcamino/wheelhorse @Achto  , while thats going on , my wife has them doing food prep , and learning how to prepare and make a meal , every step , even table clean up after a meal . grandma  has them , making and baking what they like , so they can do it for themselves , both of us grew up in homes ,where you had chores to do , so it was a very easy  thing to pass on .  they think its amazing that people were brought up that way .  you never forget , pete

Chores are a great thing that teach us how to live life on our own. 

 

My sister in law did everything for my nephew. Now he's in his late 30's and she is still doing everything for him, plus his wife & their kids.
