Are you interested in your children being winners and leaders in the future?

How are you going to get there?

One of the things that I think you should focus on is teaching your children to think,

0:11.1

teaching them to focus in a sustained manner.

0:15.1

And the way that you do that effectively is you make certain that they are cultivating the power of attention from a very

0:21.9

early age. What I try to aim for is that about 80% of my children's time in education is spent in

0:28.4

self-education with long-form narrative books. Now, that's not to say there's not a great place for

0:35.5

some useful apps and other activities. There is,

0:38.9

I use those, but 80% of the time, you're a children's education should come from long-form

I think that's a great idea. Life of Fred has helped thousands and thousands of

1:11.5

children to go from math haters to math lovers and be high math achievers as a standalone

1:16.2

curriculum. You could also use Life of Fred as a supplementary curriculum. If your children are

1:20.6

doing a great job in school and they have a great math teacher and they're using some other

1:24.8

curriculum, wonderful. If you're using a math app that is doing a

1:28.2

good job and teaching lessons, great. But make certain that your children can follow a chain of argument,

a thread, even in difficult subjects like math. If you were interested in getting some Life
