Neuroscience tells us that there are elements of self-control, empathy, and creativity that even very young children can learn. The brain is always developing; connections between neurons are always being refined. So when we practice these skills, we build the connections for them in our kids, regardless of their ages. This simply requires a refocusing of the parental lens, starting with an agreement these skills are important. In 1890, William James observed that “my experience is what I agree to attend to.” This is true for our kids as well: they will attend to the things that we as parents require them to experience and, eventually, to the things that they habitually notice.

Focused attention is rare and unbelievably important, since what parents pay attention to are the things that families end up valuing the most, whether intentionally or not. If parents focus on empathy, creativity, and self-control in an environment that allows for autonomy in personal decision making, then we will raise creative thinkers who get things done in a way that benefits others, as well as themselves. In a kid, these skills come together in the form of self-regulation and ownership. If life is presented as a problem that you figure out, then you accept the conclusions you come to, and you accept responsibility for not just your thoughts and actions, but also your own learning.

Byproducts of developing these skills are increases in grit, critical thinking, social responsibility, and personal accountability—all those missing ingredients that we’re trying to instill in our kids so they are not weak reeds in a windy world. We’re not here to raise bystanders. Instead, let’s raise a generation of people predisposed towards kindness and proficient at being uniquely human.
