Here, we explore how to give digital natives the best childhood imaginable—one that balances social-emotional learning, academic excellence, and authentic connections in a rapidly changing world.

Today’s parents and educators face a tidal wave of societal challenges:

  • Social media addiction

  • Declining school and church attendance

  • Escalating cultural wars and school shootings

  • Rising male suicides and opioid addiction

  • Mental health crises, homelessness, and falling birth rates

These trends can feel overwhelming, but together, we can equip the next generation with the tools they need to flourish.
