One of the most important things to remember as a parent is that school is an extension, not a replacement for the education you need to provide for your child/children. Some of the items I would say from experience that most public K-12 schools don’t teach are and are important for children to mature well include:
- Manners
- Personal hygiene
- Faith
- Personal Finances
- The Golden Rule
- Board Games
- Dance
- Firearm Safety
- Dignity
- Hope
- Sledding
- Parenting Skills
- Self Defence
- Internet/Social Media etiquette
- Marriage Skills
- Building Sand Castles
- Phone skills
- Driving
These are just some of the important life skills a parent needs to promote, model, and support for their children. If you’d like to add to the list feel free to send your items over!
