I have been thinking a lot lately about what sort of lessons and values to teach my kids. I know that kids need to learn how to deal with the hardships and complexities of life. I know that my little girls will go out into the world with a barrage of ideas and ideologies impinging upon them at every turn.
I believe that what my kids will learn from school, the workplace, and everyday life will be at best incomplete; at worst, wrong and misleading.
I do not want to leave anything to chance with regard to what my kids need to learn to tackle the challenges of life. Thus I’ve been thinking long and hard about what lessons and values I want to teach my kids so that they can live happily and meaningfully.
So, I’ll be working on something over the next year or so. I will be releasing a blog post, a video, and a podcast episode approximately once a week dealing with a lesson or a value that I will be teaching my young children.
This series is called “50 Things I’m Teaching My Kids”.
These are the lessons and values that I wish I was taught at a young age. Lessons and values that I want to pass on to my own kids so that they have an advantage in life.
