    This is a great post! My son is 10 and does a bunch around the house. If a sprinkler head pops off he fixes it, he maintains the yard, and is up for learning new things. He so enjoys helping around the home and it really makes him happy too!

    That is awesome Angela! There is so much benefit to being able to fix and repair things around the house. As an adult we certainly see the cost effectiveness of being able to do things yourself!

    Wonderful post, Megan! It is a blessing when the kids are old enough to help out with the chores and maintenance of the home. 🙂
