📌No, my mom didn’t teach me how to survive. She didn’t teach me how to grow food, mend clothes, or preserve what we had. But my grandmother—who survived World War II—did. She taught me how to make do with little, how to use my hands to provide for my family, and how to face life with resilience. What she didn’t teach, I Googled. Now, I take pride in the life I’ve built with my own two hands. I might not do it all perfectly, and I still rely on modern conveniences, but I’ve learned the value of doing what I can. Homemade bread cooling on the counter. Jars of preserves that we picked, canned, and labeled together.❤️ Chickens in the backyard provide eggs every morning. A garden full of vegetables and fruit trees we’ve nurtured. These aren’t just skills—they’re lessons. Lessons in patience. Lessons in gratitude. Lessons in survival and self-reliance.🎯 When I teach my children these things, I’m not just teaching them how to bake bread or plant a seed. I’m teaching them how to face a world that won’t always hand them what they need. I’m teaching them to take initiative, to appreciate what they have, and to always be ready to make do. The truth is, the world is changing. But these skills? These moments spent teaching and learning together? They’re timeless. They’re the threads that connect generations and the roots that keep us grounded. So, what are you doing today to prepare your family for tomorrow?🤔 What will you teach your children that they’ll one day thank you for? Share below—I’d love to hear how you’re passing down these timeless skills. Let’s inspire each other to keep these traditions alive.
