26. Am I Teaching the Right Things? Here's What Actually Matters


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're just guessing at what your kids actually need to learn and low-key panicking that you're getting it all wrong?

With AI and tech changing everything so fast, it's easy to feel like we're missing something big. In this episode, I share the surprising shift that freed me from the pressure to "teach it all," and what I focus on instead.

We'll talk about:

  • Why you don't have to teach everything by 18
  • The few core subjects and skills that matter most
  • How to equip your kids to keep learning for life
  • Why faith, character, and real-world skills are more important than ever

Some favorite resources I mention:

  • The Well-Trained Mind — great literature recommendations and an inspiring classical foundation
  • The Feelings Wheel — a simple tool to help build emotional intelligence
  • The Amazing Dr. Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies — a fun way to introduce logical fallacies and critical thinking
  • The Art of Argument — great for developing discernment and debate skills

If you're an overthinker with 37 tabs open, this one's for you.
