Think back to the summer of 2020. The world was in the early stages of a pandemic that made meeting up in-person nearly impossible. Most of us were at home, trying to navigate a new world of online meetings and remote work. 🧵 (1/7)

Entrepreneurship teaches kids how to:

• Understand people's needs
• Solve real problems
• Experiment and improve over time

Every kid should be learning this.

A lot of the flaws in our education system are correlated with the fact that we’re terrible at answering this question.

Why is it weirder to imagine a kid starting a successful business than it is to imagine a kid becoming an Olympian?

We see examples of the latter happen all the time.

But the former is more possible than we think.

Resisting peer pressure isn’t about “just saying no” anymore.

It’s about raising kids who:

• can think for themselves
• know their values
• are true to themselves, even when that means going against the grain.

You have no idea where following one interest could lead.

A seemingly random interest can lead to incredible opportunities for your child.

Help the spark grow.

When your kids show a spark of interest, help them dive deeper.

• Get them a book on the subject
• Help them join an organization
• Sign them up for a class on the topic

When it comes to their future, why do we only ask kids

• what college they want to attend
• what they want to study
• what job they want to do?

Why don’t we ask instead

• what problems they want to solve
• what lights them on fire
• what vision they hold for the future?

Fans are obsessed with Christopher Nolan’s movies.

How did he achieve this?

By being obsessed with his work himself:

“Every film I do, I have to believe that I'm making the best film that's ever been made.”

How do you handle screen time with your kids?

[Prequel @joinprequel]

Kids and screen time — it’s a neverending battle.

You’ve already tried it all:
• setting limits
• nagging them to do something else
• threatening to take phone time away.

It doesn’t work.

Here’s why: 👇

[Prequel @joinprequel]

We need to teach kids how to be intentional about their technology use.

Try it:

Ask your kids, "What are you hoping to get out of your screen time?"

Help them truly reflect.
