If You Had To Teach Something What Would It Be?

I have no formal training in education but I feel as if I was able to teach my children to be kind.
I'm not so sure that adults, especially those of advanced age, can learn it. Nonetheless, my kids
and I try to be an example for those who learn by watching. Many people have the skill but not
all who possess the knack for kindness use it particularly often. It's best learned young though.

"No, no, no, I don't 'make' you laugh, Charry, you do that all by yourself, I'm just the silly sod that says gormless things.......d'ya wanna tomato?" :)
I ll tell you a story , when I was in the school netball team, aged 12, I forgot my PE kit, so teacher gave me a spare skirt, and knickers, which should of been Blue, But she only had red knickers for me.........well , I played really well......lucky knickers,
On my last Goal.......I heard a voice from the sideline shout out “WELL DONE TOMATO ARSE”
Everyone was in hysterics , apart from me , who blushed like a tomato .....😂😂😂😂
 
I would teach ballet. It's one of the few things I have some natural talent for, but what I loved most about all my ballet classes, from child to adult is the precision of each movement. I always liked the tiny corrections my teachers would give me, even if I had just let my wrist sag or my chin drop, so I would love to pass that on to others who are seeking a sort of perfection of movement.

What I have been able to teach is reading. I've volunteered with that off and on since my son was in kindergarten and I would teach reading to the sixth graders while waiting for his class to be done. I'm passionate about teaching children to read because I know lacking that skill can hold them back all their lives.
 
Auto mechanics. I finished a 2-year community college course when I was 18-19 and even though I never had a job in auto mechanics, it was
very nice to have all the things I learned to use in real life. I knew a lot even when I started the classes, but learned how to do more
and do it correctly. At 16 if I was going to have a car, I needed to learn how to keep it running. I could not afford to pay someone else to
work on it for me. And I found out I enjoyed doing it.
 
Hi and welcome to SF. Your avatar, is that a high wire act thing?
Due to multiple health issues and 95% isolation, I feel like I need to keep my balance by believing I can do what I need to do to get through the day. I don't look down as this messes up my balance. If I do, I pay a price.
I gaze straight ahead, ignoring all the things my body is telling me that would cause me to doubt I can continue. As a man of faith, my balance bar consists of scripture on one side and Spirit on the other.
As I keep these 2 in balance, I walk by faith and not by sight and get done the things that I need to. The tightrope and balance bar form a cross, with me on it. This is a central tenet of my faith.
Thanks for the welcome!

Your Avatar is fitting. You appear to be very strong in your faith and convictions. You obviously possess a trait I only wish I had. Stay your course, be blessed and again welcome to the family. Always a friend.
 
If I could teach anything I'd teach the young what I've learned over 65 years of varied experiences. I'd pepper practical life lessons with the history of the times and critical thinking for the future. Everything would be in play, from jobs to relationships, to the metaphysical and physical universe. What I wouldn't do is waste time. I'd go right to 'my' points. Feel free to take 'em or leave 'em... just one flawed man's observations on a life lived with tips pointed out only to help.
Replacement for grandparents
The system is in control of that for sure as you speak.
Why it has come to many lonely seniors with many good true stories to share with their own offspring.
Shame why high Risers exist.
