    Scrapping With Your Kids

    This is the first time I have ever started a thread on here. Mostly because, well, almost everything I have thought of was found by searching the old threads. But this is something I didn't specifically come across.

    Last night I was doing a little breaking down of some eWaste. My 16 year old son (he's a hermit, comes out of his room for food and once in a while you hear the bathroom door close, so we know he's still alive) comes out to the garage and just starts asking questions about stuff. He grabs a regular screwdriver and asks if I mind if he takes a couple things apart. GO FOR IT (was kinda cool watching him learn a few things and spending the time out there talking to him, doesn't feel like we do enough of that these days anyway).



    After about 45 minutes or so, he says he wants to start doing more scrapping with me and learn some more about how it all works. That works for me. I love spending time with my son.

    I know that we have people from every area, age group (there are a lot of very experienced guys on here, a few young guys just finding their way, and a bunch of us in between. I guess what I am asking here. Is how many of you guys (or girls) spend time scrapping with your kids or grandkids? How old are they? And how involved do they get?
