You're right, I don't know what actual skill I had in mind there (one are you are no longer trained in but still use). I meant to say, even when a kid is wise to the danger of not taking lessons, they don't know what subjects are best for them or how many different ones must be pursued.

I think the key is to teach them a way to integrate whatever they learn into a joyful life that strives to contribute to all other life.

Teach them to tap into intuition, ask (not demand) for help when support is needed, and learn how to learn.
