[quote:Anonymous Coward 1110734:MV8xNTg3OTA4XzM0NzM3Njc3XzhGRjk1RjdB] Preparedness is self-directed Having been caught in a ban recently, I think I'm done. I hope this topic has been helpful to anyone who likes to prepare. I think on average, it took me two hours of every day to create postings that would be genuinely helpful in any disaster, or merely to live life to the fullest by practical skill use. It was my contribution to GLP as a way of paying back mentors and kindness that others showed to me. Real preparedness is self-directed, isn't it? Don't expect to read something and then by absorption gain knowledge to aid yourself when the SHTF. Instead of reading my posts, and using me as a crutch, or as an idea generator, stop learning and start thinking, experimenting, researching your own ideas. Become a cook not watch cooks on television. Exercise, don't watch athletes perform sports on TV. Grow a garden, don't buy everything at the grocery store. It's pretty simple. All people suspect that a disaster can happen to them based upon a loss of resources. Those kinds of doom will happen to you in your lifetime. I guarantee it. Having prepared for them YOURSELF will make a more fully actualized human being. Hard work and sweat makes muscles, increases dendrites in the brain to realize connections, and brings joy. Only you can do it. [/quote]

There are many free homeschooling sites with pdf files. It would be great to have them just in case there are issues.
Get medications that your kids need. See if your doctor will prescribe 3 months supplies for them.
Get some presents tomorrow for Christmas. Little gifts that you could give out not only then, but throughout the year as incentives. They'll really appreciate them.
Children can thrive in the woods as long as they have calm parents. They cannot keep up with your pace up and down tails. You've got to plan adequately if you do have to walk some.
Kids are used to incorrectly using a backpack since kids at school wear them in the wrong fashion, which adds too much stress to their lower back. You'll have to reteach them how to buckle it properly and position it higher than they used to wearing it.
Try to make gathering wood into a game. Teach them as much about nature as possible. Being quiet is as important as talking.
Kids love open fires. Tell stories. It can simply be times when they did wonderful things when they were younger. They love hearing how much you love and adore them. Even teens.
Hug and kiss them often. Be generous with your affection. Lavish it on them
