Dr. Tim Elmore joins the podcast to talk about cultivating leadership in our children and equipping them to be future leaders.

Dr. Elmore is the founder of the global nonprofit Growing Leaders and has written more than 35 books, including "Habititudes," "Generation Z Unfiltered" and "12 Huge Mistakes Parents Can Avoid."

An expert on leadership and the younger generations, he believes that the problems we face today will be solved by kids who are now in school.

In this episode, Tim Elmore and host Cynthia Yanof discuss:

• How Generation Z and Generation Alpha are defined, and how they are different from previous generations
• The impact of smartphones on younger generations
• The four ways kids become leaders
• How parents can develop leadership in their kids
• Ways in which parents inadvertently stifle leadership in children
• Positive steps parents can take and mistakes they can avoid

Tim Elmore's latest book, "I Can't Wait!" contains 52 stories of kids who took leadership to solve problems or serve people. Each short story includes discussion questions and an online video families can watch together.
