In this episode, I discuss the importance of sharing life skills with grandchildren and creative ways to teach them essential lessons. I reflect on personal experiences with my father and how small, everyday moments can provide invaluable learning opportunities for grandkids.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- The power of showing and sharing life skills instead of just telling.
