YES!!! The first time I saw a green bean on the plant I planted.. I still recall ... like an amazing thing!

Saw a video with young boys (3) maybe oldest 14 years building a home from scratch right along side their Dad and Mom adding artistic additions boys helped and 2 girls too...Teaching life skill trades is as important... there is satisfaction in knowing how to do what use to be common developments from very early age...

The craft grows as does skill.
Have thought for many many years were I do to do my life again...would NOT go to University (thought left with many skills but not life skills like building a home and planting crops) but learn a Vocational skill...now a days that seems an obvious choice!

Hell yes teach them reality, not some bullshit like all they learn is false
