My son Nico (5) is sanding a piece of wood for a woodworking project. He’s doing it because a teacher told him to do it. Soon, I hope he’ll work on projects of his own in our new garage workshop.
I want to make my kids into doers.
I will help them connect their passion for play with a passion for making the world a better place.
I will show them how to devote every day of their lives to solving problems, rather than leaning back in front of the TV.
I will show them that they can change anything that bothers them, for the better.
I will inspire them to pursue their own interests, rather than wait for a teacher to tell them what to learn.
I want them to be driven to make the world a better place.
And to have fun on the journey.
Every day.
I can make this happen. I will make this happen.
I’m the parent. The buck stops with me.
