RE: The kids learned a valuable lesson today
I'm so glad that you involve your kids on the farm. There is so much to be learned and gained, not to mention family unity.
I just got back from a summer of WWOOFing and I was amazed at how uninvolved in the farm some of the kids were at the farms we stayed at.
What is WWOOFing?
We involve the kids so much i think they wished we wouldn't. :) But they get to share in the joys when things are positive, and they get a real sense of pride.
We're kind of old fashioned- meals together, no cable tv, very little screen time. I even force them to play outside sometimes. Lol
Thanks for your comment!
WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It is a work/learning exchange where volunteers are given room and board in exchange for working on the farm. The program we actually did was called WorkAway but WWOOF is more widely known.
