Blessed new year!
Apologies for a lapse in posting. I have been engaged with transitioning my girls out of public school.
It gets interesting when even the VP of the school has no idea what forms I need to fill up...
Because such things are simply "not done" in Singapore.
There is a difference between:
"So you decided to homeschool your kids?"
and
"So you decided to allow homeschool as an option for your kids?"
The 1st still shows top-down mentality while the 2nd honours the child's choices.
My girls wrote some simple automation code last night on their own.
We woke up to check the server. Their experiment was a success, with enough to improve on.
They're pumped to log in remotely to test more concepts without graphics.
CLI FTW.
Teach your kids to navigate the world using a perpetual, social game with useful educational parallels.
Especially great for developing readers and writers! (Which my girls are)
My family has fun together while I craft learning journeys with it.
DM me for info.

Welcome to all new followers!
A short update on my life:
🔸started a business with a physical location implement online growth frameworks in an offline setting (joinclass . carrd . co)
🔸engaged in homeschool learning with my kids
🔸reinvented my music education offering
You don't have to wait until your kids pass some age level to teach them stuff like:
SSH
Relational databases
Coding syntax
The limiters on your kids tend to be externally imposed and largely artificial.
Find what motivates them, then impart skills that add value.
@radrad Thanks for checking in!
I'm developing my business(es) while also supporting my 12 yr old twin daughters aa they shift from public schooling to home schooling. 😊
Today, my girls learnt about business moats. Specifically about intellectual property.
Distinguishing between:
🔸copyrights
🔸patents
🔸trade secrets
Never too young to learn what gives you (and others) competitive advantages.
There's a way to run meetings effectively.
I imparted the framework to my girls today in a 30 minute meeting.
It's amazing how motivated children can be, discussing matters like the use of organisational charts and agendas...
When the learning journey uses a game they enjoy.
My girls were motivated to conduct an experiment yesterday, using a creative solution that did not occur to me.
The results were disappointing.
But today, there was a bounce-back with new ideas based on the findings.
Constant innovation in progress. 😀
Just 1 question from my 12 yr old was all it took to:
1. Optimise a process left untouched for years
2. Rethink old ways of doing things
And now my girls are learning to use internet servers with hardcore command lines.
Entering the market
Studying the entrenched school serving my target niche, I discover:
🔸They do group sessions
🔸I don't
With me, you get masterclass mentorship from day 1, customised to your individual needs and requirements.
Not possible with a group and fixed syllabus.
(Don’t obsess over all the things you cannot do)
If you spent all your time making a list of what you cannot do,
you will never get to doing what you actually are able to.
Use what you have to do what you can.
