Nurturing the Leader Within Your Child

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Kids today... are different and live in a culture different than the one in which their parents grew up. Employers, teachers and parents wrestle to stay connected to this digital generation with short attention spans and a bias for action and interaction. For ten years now, sociologists have introduced us to Generation Y. They’ve been identified as the Digital Generation, Mosaics, Millennials and Techies. They’re the kids born between 1984 and 2002. Now, the next generation of students is coming up behind them: The Homelanders (children born since 2002). All students today can be described as an EPIC generation: Experiential, Participatory, Image-rich and Connected. Many adults feel like an immigrant among natives with these kids.

Questions:

  • How does this generation of youth differ from Generation X and the Baby Boomers?
  • Where do they go for answers, for information and for future direction?
  • Why do their minds work the way they do? What makes them tick?
  • When is the appropriate time to approach them and invest in them?

Growing Leaders is a non-profit organization which serves public schools, state universities and civic organizations, as well as faith-based organizations and churches. Our mission is to develop young leaders who will transform society. Our goal is to equip and mobilize one percent of the world’s population under the age of 25 (30 million students) to think and act like authentic, life-giving leaders. We will do this by helping them discover their purpose, equipping them for leadership and showing them how to use their gifts to serve the world around them. We are about youth leadership development.
