“A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school.

“I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing.

“A parent does not do everything for their kid. A parent that does everything for their kid produces a kid with no self-confidence. If our parents fixed everything for us and did not allow us to do anything on our own, or intervened every single time, we would all grow up to be completely dependent. The reason we grow up to be healthy adults is because our parents played this game of giving us responsibility, disciplining us when necessary, letting us try, letting us fail.” IfsGivingTryingDoeSelfReasonKidsGamesGrowsParentResponsibilityGrowing UpFailingProduceHealthyAdultsSelf ConfidenceFixedDependent Author:Simon Sinek

“Some people thought that if you put pressure on kids, parents, and teachers and schools, the pressure alone would produce results.

“We honor ambition, we reward greed, we celebrate materialism, we worship acquisitiveness, we commercialize art, we cherish success and then we bark at the young about the gentle arts of the spirit. The kids know that if we really valued learning, we would pay our teachers what we pay our lawyers and stockbrokers. If we valued art, we would not measure it by its capacity to produce profits. If we regarded literature as important, we would remove it from the celebrity sweepstakes and spend a little money on our libraries.” IfsKnowsLittlesArtImportantKidsYoungSpiritLiteraturePayTeacherProduceHonorAmbitionWorshipCapacityRewardsLibraryGreedProfitLawyerCelebrateGentleRemoveMaterialismCherishBarkLittle MoneyStockbrokersSweepstakes Author:Russell Baker

“I do think it's getting more and more rare in this country to raise a kid with the attitude that creativity is something valuable.

“There's also a growing trend toward having gardens in schools to literally show kids where food comes from by having them grow and prepare their own food.
