Last weekend I began to teach our son:
- How to strike a match
- How to light a fire
- How to be respectful of fire
- Which side of the fire to approach
We have a campfire pit in our yard and this is the time of year for using it. We burned enough yard and tree trimmings to make an excellent cooking fire.
He was hesitant to strike the match. Perhaps even afraid. He’s nine.
As a Father, it seems intuitive to be the one to teach him certain things that will be taught by others, if I don’t beat them to it.
Striking a match is just the beginning. Ya with me?
