What do we mean by Hands-On?

HANDS-ON
 
I can remember you
washing your hands in the kitchen sink.
You'd just come home from work
with garage grease up to your elbows.
And Ma rescued the situation with a towel
whilst serving us our tea.
 
I can remember you
asking me to hold out my hands
So that you could wind the wool into balls.
And then you'd sit at night
knitting Aran jumpers
that were admired by all.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
1. Being hands-on means that we are actively involved. We make things happen with others. What are you making happen at the moment?
​2. What hands-on activities do you have with your partner and/or children in the daily activities of home life?
3. How are you working with others who are holding out their hands, asking for help?
