Extended Notes:
- Most of our problems stem from how we think, which comes from how we’re educated
- There’s been an inversion of the primary place of education, from the home to the institution of schooling
- The institution of school is designed to encourage finding the right answers and regurgitating them
- Truth lies within the family; it is not up to the institution to define truth for kids; the key question is who decides what truth is?
- Media is the greatest influence in kids today; dads need to engage with that media and disrupt the messages kids are receiving; invite kids into a conversation about the message and the messenger
- Preparing self-leaders will allow them to learn their way out of any situation
- Matt’s Key Question: Who is the child you want to give to the world?
- Noticing and working with your child’s interest allows you to build a learning journey with them, for their own self learning and discovery
- The school room is uniquely designed to frustrate boys; Dads must engage early and often as the strategist for their son’s life
