Sharing your favourite hobby with your kids.
Hobbies are a great thing to have. Keeps you occupied without stressing you out, is what I think hobbies do. I have a multitude of hobbies, from something as simple as reading to something more time consuming like sewing, cooking and baking. Having a hobby is also a good way of showing your kids that there are better ways of spending your time other than watching the television or DVDs.In most cases, we can also share our hobbies with our kids. For instance, I share my love of baking with all three of my kids by letting them get involved when I’m baking. They either help with the preparation, stirring or in the case of cookies, cutting them with the cookie cutters. This not only teaches them the art of baking, but also the different measurements, technique and appreciation for how the different foods are made.
To introduce them to the world of sewing, I have given them each a sewing kit, which has a template made of felt with holes already for them to “sew” their included needle through. The end product is usually what encourages them to finish their projects.
So, if you have any hobbies that you can share with your kids, do so. This will encourage some valuable use of time to the kids.
