Lurking, posting occasionally, and zapping anonymously. Observing always. Pulmonaut nostr-java is my hobby project.

I'm happy for Ngannou, he'll make good money, and the man deserves it.

But still, I think Fury vs. Usyk, and Ngannou vs. J. Jones are the fights most fans actually want to see happen.

It's quite slow to load today. I can't open my wallet, it looks stuck. I'll check the logs later when I have a minute...

Raising kids in a changing world order

Hey #Nostr fam - I love the idea of having this community here!

I have two sons - 7 yrs old and 4 yrs old. My 7 year old is on the autism spectrum and has limitations in communication and social skills, but he's advanced with numbers. My 4 year old thus far appears to be neurotypical and highly social/communicative, but also appears to be ahead in reading and math. He's recently discovered a love for Legos, and yesterday he correctly assembled a marble maze that was rated for ages 8+.

We are in a public school system that we are quite happy with, and it was largely the reason that we settled where we did. My 7 yr old is getting great support with notable progress, and my 4 yr old appears to have options ahead of him to help him progress where his talents are without isolating him socially (and hopefully without pressuring him to maintain any sort of lofty expectations).

My questions for other parents in the community: What do you see as the skills that will be sought-after in the decades to come?

I'm constantly on the lookout for that venn diagram where my kids' leanings and talents intersect with community and industry needs -- like when I was coming of age in the 90s and the IT industry was the big pull. STEM seems like the obvious umbrella to stay under, but it's a tremendously large umbrella.

My instincts say coding (in general, less specific, more about fundamental software building blocks), AI (architecture, prompting), and finance (to enable good decisions early).

What are other parents doing?

Your question might find more attention and engagement within /n/EducationDecentralized.

But personally, I think the world is so unpredictable and is changing so fast, that it's almost impossible to make such a long-term prediction.

My Kid’s are rewarded in sats for doing chores using nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq (WOS) daily, as well as 1 sat an hour from ZapPlanner with the message “Daddy loves you” which should last for 30 yrs. My kids pay me back in sats for the things they want at a store Via WOS. This whole experience has been teaching them so much about #Bitcoin and spending habits. Spreading the knowledge to the next Generation…

I can relate to this, because I've tried something similar. I used to zap my little one for books. In your case, I love the fact they are paying you back in sats for things they want at a store. There's so much educational value to it!

My challenge, and the reason I stopped, is that I couldn't tell if my son was reading because he understood the validity and importance of it, or just because of the sats? In other words, I wasn't sure if he would have still continued if I had run out of sats...

It turns out that zapping 4 reading was not a good idea, you just need to buy them the right books. 😅

Please don't make the same mistake.

Maybe that lesson can be universalised?
