What Your Children Need To Survive In The 21st Century

The world is changing rapidly and it’s showing no signs of stopping. Technology is advancing at a faster rate, new fields are being discovered, and the rat race that we have become accustomed to has sped up so much over the years.

The competition is only going to get tougher for our kids. Are they ready to face a world where technology and intelligence is going to rule? Especially, when we as parents are sometimes guilty of thinking our child is just average or maybe lacking?

Most of what we see today did not even exist when we were children. So, as parents, how can we prepare our children for things we can’t even begin to imagine in life? Had we ever heard of the field of digital marketing? or the term social media manager? No! Because social media did not even exist at the time.

Today, in this episode of Kidsstoppress Podcasts – A Parenting Happy Hour, India’s top parenting podcast, Mansi Zaveri, the founder of Kidsstoppress.com speaks to us about the 21st century skills our children need to survive and thrive in the modern world.
