18.01.2022 How we'll become cyborgs and extend human potential.... The recent TED talk by Hugh Herr is fascinating, looking at how science is changing how humans function, replacing limbs with cyborg prosthetics, predicting that one day humans will have wings to fly. True super hero stuff, and in fact he refers to being a super hero in his talk. What if we can be super heros now, and show our children how to do the same? Martin Seligman's TED talk on "The new era of positive psychology"..., could be retitled in the same vein..."How we'll become aware of our strengths and extend human potential." Not becoming cyborgs, and jumping over buildings in a single bound, but the simplicity of understanding what makes us superhero’s. What makes us tick? This is the vision of Know Your Child to help families thrive. Whether it be toilet training to wellbeing. if we first understand our children's strengths, we have insight into how to best parent them. Knowing our top five character strengths makes us that force to be reckoned with. If we operate in our signature strengths, the ones that energise us and make us feel alive; the strengths that gives us the courage, the excitement; that make our natural abilities seem like super powers, because we do them so well; then we also can achieve super feats and move mountains by just being ourselves. What are your super powers? Do you know your top five character strengths? Do you know your childrens'? How would it change how our children looked at themselves if they knew they actually did have super powers? In the wise words of Dr Seuss, "So.... be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way!" (Oh, the Places You'll Go!, 1990) :) Find out your super powers here. http://www.viacharacter.org/www/ https://www.ted.com//hugh_herr_how_we_ll_become_cyborgs_an

04.01.2022 While highlighting that heritable traits and envirnomental factors can significantly influence raising our children, DNA testing to determine their specific educational focus loses the essence of life for discovery and learning. As Angela Duckworth highlights in her book Grit, talent and IQ are not the determining factors for success anyway. Passion and persistence are instead the ingredients that help human beings rise above their situation to succeed. If instead we becom...e better parents through observing and understanding our children to build their strengths, how much more powerful will this be? Not to dictate what they should or shouldn't be when they grow up, but grow their confidence and resilience to be the best person they can be.
