What’s Still Worth Teaching to Prepare Our Kids for the AI Age [Ep 126]

See full show notes with links for this episode at https://raisinghealthyfamilies.com/ra... Artificial intelligence is changing so quickly that honestly? I don’t think any of us can accurately predict what our kids’ jobs will look like in 10 or 20 years. But I also don’t think parents can afford to throw up our hands and say, “Well, who knows?” and ignore the conversation. In this second part of my AI series on the Healthy Parenting Handbook podcast, I’m digging into the question I think every parent is asking right now: What skills will actually matter in the age of AI? Not coding. Not memorizing facts. Not just following directions. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that our kids are going to need to become more fully human, not less. In this solo episode, I share the seven skills I believe will help kids thrive in a rapidly changing future, whether they become entrepreneurs, tradespeople, creators, leaders, or something none of us can even imagine yet. We’re talking about the kinds of skills AI can’t practice for us: communication, resilience, critical thinking, emotional regulation, adaptability, and learning how to learn. I also share some surprising thoughts about which college paths may already be becoming obsolete, why hands-on skills may actually become more valuable again, and what I’m seeing firsthand as AI completely transforms the way my husband works every single day. If you’ve been wondering how to prepare your kids for a future nobody can fully predict, this episode will help you focus on the skills that actually last.
