Children love doing new things with adults.
Absolutely! Doing things with Daddy is great fun for kids. And they remember.
I taught both my boy and girl welding in building them a little kart powered by a lawn mower engine when they were about 9 or 10 - they loved it. And haven't forgotten how.
One day it was so cold that the outlet from our bath had frozen up - it wouldn't drain. I didn't realize till I went into the bathroom and found my lad with a blowlamp trying to thaw it out... Arrrgh! - absolutely the right principle, but not the right approach.. I didn't yell at him, but sent him down to the kitchen to boil a kettle of water, which did the job without setting the place on fire. He was still happy, and learned something.... he must have been 10 or so.
Do teach them the old hand skills - you never know how things will work out.
