BUILDING LIFELONG DIY SKILLS
One of the best parts of my job is connecting with readers and, in a way, feeling welcomed into your homes and lives each month. Often, readers build on that goodwill by sending us stories and photos.
Here’s my favorite recent example: Back in the spring, when schools closed because of the pandemic, Jason Magalen worked with his daughters, ages 6 and 10, to build a playhouse. The project kept the girls entertained and challenged, amused and enthused, for days.
The girls got the playhouse they had wanted. And much more: They built basic skills like planning and measuring. Even better, they built DIY confidence. (For all of us, an I-can-do-this attitude is half the battle!) Practical skills and confidence will benefit those girls forever.
