Children love to watch while parents and repair technicians fix household appliances. And moms and dads know how much kids are willing to grab their own tools and hammer away while imitating fix-it projects. These kinds of experiences are perfect real-life opportunities for children to learn new skills.

Now, you can showcase your child’s curiosity and creativity by letting them explain how things work around the house.
