Re: Good project for a 10 yr old?




The above steps will allow her to understand and be able to join in. If
your child is ready to turn, treat her as a co-worker and let her
proceed on her terms, else you are just pretending that she is turning
while indulging yourself at her bored expense. You may very well
disagree, but whatever you two decide to do, make sure it's fun for
_both of you.

As a former parks and recreation director, it always amazed me at how many parents come to the park with their child to play ball and hated the experience. What was really scary was how many kids come to the park and didn't want to be there. I agree with Arch, if she wants to use the tools she needs to be familiarized with them and the dangers of working with a lathe should be explained. But most of all keep it fun for the two of you. By trade I am now a teacher, but sometimes when it comes to my kids someone else is a better teacher for them than I am (Dad's patience sometimes is short).

Have fun,

JD
