None of these interests became a full time pursuit but most of these skills I use; like cooking meals on a daily basis, or sewing Halloween costumes and beautiful tulle sashes for birthday parties!
We need these skills not just to get things done and to be more independent of others, but rather to fulfill a need that all humans have - to create; to feel the great sense of satisfaction when you made something with your own two hands you can use. Buying stuff can never replace the deep sense of satisfaction and confidence you get from making something yourself!
And as parents we see it as our privilege to teach our daughters skills that will help them experience that same sense of satisfaction and to find opportunities every single day to create, breathe and live in the moment with a sense of happiness you cannot buy with money.
