Future-ready kids
Are you worried about how well-prepared your kids are for the future, especially with the challenges facing our country?
In the latest episode of The Hustle with Justin Harrison, Justin dives deep into these concerns with a 20-year veteran of the financial industry who wants to equip his children with the right skills and mindset to thrive.
The episode goes beyond just finances. Justin argues that fostering entrepreneurial thinking and balanced parenting are crucial. He emphasises the need to:
- Set limits on technology use: Encourage creativity and problem-solving over mindless consumption.
- Introduce children to practical skills and trades: Our traditional education system may not fully prepare them for the real world, says Justin.
- Focus on solutions, not just problems: Teach children to think critically and find innovative solutions.
This episode of the podcast tackles tough questions facing South Africa, including:
- How can we reduce the public sector wage bill and improve governance?
- What simple fiscal changes can help the country move forward, especially with the energy crisis?
- Are our children spending too much time in the gaming world, and if so, what can we do about it?
