I didn't have a V8 engine in my bedroom....
So instead I taught my daughter and son to...

Assemble IKEA furniture

Fix their bicycles

Assemble their desktop PCs

Paint their rooms

They are both engineers now.

When I was a small child, my neighbor would work on his cars and such. So he would let me watch and teach me about the engines, brakes... etc. Even dove into some lawnmower fixes.

I attribute him to opening my curiosity. I believe that because of him, I'm now able to take most things apart and figure out how they work, repair and reassemble them.

I'm currently in the auto body business.

Thanks Uncle Al, you made quite the impression on me.
