CATCH A FISH, THROW A BALL, FLY A KITE: 21 TIMELESS SKILLS EVERY CHILD SHOULD KNOW (& ANY PARENT CAN TEACH) Kids naturally assume that grownups know how to do everything. If only they knew! Catch a Fish, Throw a Ball, Ride a Bike is for any parent who wants to teach their children what the kids really want to learn -- even the skills about which mom or dad isn't 100% certain.

Some are simple enough for a 4-year-old, and others will appeal to even a jaded adolescent.

But they all have one thing in common: You and your kids can do them together.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Dr. Jeffrey Lee who lives in Seattle, graduated from Harvard Medical School and trained in family medicine at the University of Washington.
