When Seven Minutes Isn't Enough
What if I told you that the average father spends just seven minutes a day in meaningful conversation with his child? Mothers fare slightly better at eleven minutes, but consider this: we dedicate more time to scrolling social media than building the most important relationship in our children's lives. This startling reality sets the stage for understanding a fundamental truth-parents, not schools, are the architects of their children's success. When a baby arrives with 100 billion neurons ready to form connections, the most explosive brain growth happens between birth and age four, long before any teacher enters the picture. Every interaction, from explaining why the sky changes colors to reading that bedtime story for the hundredth time, physically grows dendrites in your child's brain. These neural pathways become the foundation for all future learning, and you're the primary builder. The question isn't whether you're teaching your child-you always are. The real question is: what are you teaching?
