But certainly college is necessary for careers like engineering right?

Well. Yes. And this reflection from a successful engineer helps with a bit of perspective.

The college track is not going to be the default best choice for the world’s future leaders in the 21st century.

The game is changing. Tomorrow’s leaders need to know what game it is they are playing in order to win.

We’ve heard well-intentioned and intelligent teachers for years talk about how hard they are trying to change the industrial schooling system.

And to no avail.

The state schooling system continues to fail young people and lead them in obedience training (by design) rather than equip them to be leaders, life long learners, and interact successfully with a rapidly changing world.

We can either continue to bang our heads against the brick walls of one-size-fits-all, assembly line schooling, or we can step away and build something better.

We choose to build something better.

All true education is self-education. Anything a person learns is ultimately something he or she has had to see for themselves.

It is true that many of those with the advanced degrees and credentials do not have the education and intellect of autodidacts.

Is technology a gift?

Or is technology a handicap?

It’s fair to say that it can be both.

When technology is used as a tool to ENHANCE human thinking, creativity, and production, it’s a gift.

If we are being honest, too often modern technologies are used without intention and forethought and so become a REPLACEMENT for human thinking, creativity, and production.

We can teach our kids to use AI, the internet, cell phones, social media, and other technologies as tools without being controlled by them, but that self control and intentionality begins with us as parents.

While most parents have swallowed the “get good grades so you can go to college and get a good job” narrative hook, line, and sinker, the reality of the ROI on a college degree is much different.

So many have equated true learning, education, and success with more schooling. Schooling and education are not the same thing and do not have the same outcomes.

We highly recommend this book!

“Can we raise healthy children in a toxic world? Yes, we can!

Modern life, with its conveniences and technologies, has had mixed results. With great gains come also losses. For better or for worse, as certain types of knowledge have increased, others, which were not perhaps knowledge in the modern sense, but rather types of wisdom, which were once innate, have grown faint.

Just as the wisdom of traditional diets faded and gave way to a haphazard, increasingly toxic, industrialized, “modern” diet―the hazardous results of which many are now waking up to―so, too, did older, likely innate wisdom for guiding a growing human being from birth through childhood and adolescence into adulthood all but vanish, with predictable results.

It falls to those who are willing to step outside the box of today’s widely unquestioned orthodoxies to honestly assess where we’ve come from, where we are, and how to go forward in ways that not only restore sanity (though that’s a necessary first step), but also reclaim something of the wisdom of being human, but in new ways.
While it’s true that we can’t go back to how things once were, wisdom is also possible going forward. A living, contemporary, and conscious approach to raising children, born of both commonsense and love, is both achievable and necessary. This is the path that Dr. Cowan outlines in this book.

With friendly humor and out of his keen observation of children through the years, as a physician, a parent, grandparent, and friend, Dr. Cowan offers hope and guidance for the parents of today’s youngest generation, that they may raise up a cohort of free, healthy, happy, caring human beings.

While rearing children in the twenty-first century entails facing certain challenges that were either unknown or insignificant even a generation ago, Dr. Cowan demonstrates that the door is wide open to meet these challenges with new thinking and a renewed commitment to the sacredness of the growing human being.”
