What’s most important for a child’s resume? A ton of extra-curricular activities and a souped up grade point average? 

That’s the question we explore with husband, father and co-founder of the Apogee Program Matt Beaudreau. 

Parents (and kids, by extension) find them exhausted trying to keep up with the system: get high grades, never make mistakes and don’t ask questions. 

Our kids have beautiful resumes, but get stressed easily, fall down quickly and search for meaning on Call of Duty and Pornhub. 

In today’s episode, Matt lays out 5 character values that will actually matter for our kids and that you can implement starting today. 

1. Foster Creation, Not Consumerism
2. Foster Fitness, Not Apathy
3. Give Them Real Life Challenges, Not Video Games and Porn
4. Foster Emotional Stability, Not Emotional Fragility
5. Foster Resilience, Not Entitlement

And the bonus: Stop attaching so much “worth” to report cards and test scores.

Enjoy the conversation!.
