Hello, I am 20 years old and a young parent myself. I have to admit that I haven't been very good at learning some of the basic things in life, like washing my face, legs, and feet. My parents never taught me these things when I was young. Furthermore, I was never taught how to cook or clean. There are so many things that my parents didn't teach me, and I'm really grateful that my wife has been helping me learn as I come to understand that I don't know certain things. It makes me feel a bit ashamed, but I really want to learn. So, please teach your kids how to bathe and live.

I cannot recommend basic yoga enough for wonky balance.

I have terrible proprioception, i run into corners and bump my shoulders constantly (even though im a smallish person and it makes no sense). Yoga made it easier to close my eyes in the shower, catch my balance, not sprain my joints, so much within a few months from like, 20 min twice a week. Free youtube videos. I've saved myself from serious injury more than once.
