• Playing a musical instrument:

  Easier to learn when young and improves brain elasticity.

• Cooking:

  Encourages healthier eating habits, decreases frequency on costly meals out, and makes learning to cook new things less intimidating.

• Fixing things / building things:

  Once you start taking things apart or putting them together (doesn’t really matter what) it increases the confidence of being able to do your own repairs / maintenance instead of paying others to do it.

Social skills.

Its a lot harder to fix poor social skills as an adult than it is when youre a kid.
