they have life skills... and will attain more...
btw--they know how to cook, have doing their own laundry since they were six years old, know how to pitch a tent, build a fire, launch, drive and dock a boat... my older son knows how to do electrical work, they play piano, guitar, recite poetry...
their daddy and i both employ "teachable moments" on any situation or topic that presents iteselt... in fact, their daddy, who is highly intelligent and of the science-minded sort, is going to give them hands-on learning of the car engine...

Sounds like they are being raised by loving parents.
