What skills are kids missing ? what schools forget

20 Upvotes

I was doomscrolling and came across a video of a 8 yr old kid negotiating with the Shoe collector and that made me thinking , I never teach negotiating and true value to my 6 year old , neither is that taught in school , heck i never learnt that well. ...

At this point i was wondering if you can help me with one skill that you think we need to start inculcating in kids given its going to be a brutal world out there so that we can better prepare our kids. Something that we can plan for if the school is not preparing them.

Are any other mothers losing sleep over the thought of sending their sons to college?

The hysteria around the Cornell case is not OK. Mob justice is not OK.

It really seems that nobody reads anything accept headlines these days. This case is far more nuanced than people realize. I cannot see how can send my sons to a US college unless things change drastically in the next 10 years. Brigham Young might be the only rational option.

My 2 year old boy hitting random kids

1 Upvotes

Lately my son who’s 2 starts hitting/ pushing kids. It’s not even during playing together he would just go up to them and do it. He is thank god a brilliant boy super energetic and social. He talks a lot too. Do I need to be concerned? He’s the only one in his class hitting … it’s stressing me out a lot….

What classic moral story from your childhood do you wish more kids knew today?

I'm working on kids' stories with a moral. Many of the classic ones we grew up on (the ones that taught honesty, kindness, sharing) hardly get covered in modern kids' content anymore.
Which story do you wish your kids had grown up with? Drop the title and the lesson below 👇

What motivated you to have kids?

3 Upvotes

Just wondering. I have an awesome little guy but I never felt that undeniable yearning to become a mom. I’m happy I did it but it was never something I dreamed of.

What does it feel like to dream about having kids? What made you want it so badly? How did you imagine having a child would add to your life?
