Please help! I've had a real problem getting my daughter interested in our RV-10 project. I feel it's extremely important that she be actively involved so that she will feel a sense of ownership and pride when it's completed. However, it seems that no matter what I do, she just doesn't seem interested.
When I get her into the shop, she can't seem to focus her attention long enough to grasp any of the tasks at hand. When she is interested, it's usually just because she wants to play with the tools, instead of getting any real work done. Once things get a little monotonous, I can tell she isn't paying attention.
Also, my wife has pretty much given her a free pass by not allowing me to have her deburr anything, "because she's worried she'll get cut." When we go over the plans, I can almost watch as she falls asleep while I'm talking.
What on earth can I do to get her interested? Doesn't she realize what this project means? Besides, how many young ladies get to build their own airplanes at home. I'm asking the RV community for any help they can provide...
What can I do to get my daughter interested in the build!?
