Skillful Futures is a call-to-action for active parents, grandparents, community leaders, and educators. The book begins with the premise that 'the pendulum has swung' to inspire parents to take a leadership role in creating multiple life-experiences early in their children's lives. It is predicted that children will have over a dozen different jobs in their future. This must-read book is filled with tips and takeaways designed to engage children beyond the digital world. Currently, schools are struggling to catch children up on 'the basics' since the pandemic, but there is much parents can do at home to empower their children to be ready for the ever-evolving world of future jobs. Designed for parent groups, community supporters, chambers of commerce, and educators, Skillful Futures offers a deep dive into supporting parents' efforts to locate skillful hands-on experiences for children between the ages of eight and sixteen. Phyllis T. Morgan, a noted visionary award-winning leader in education suggests that parents who involve children early in experiencing life-skills will empower their children to higher levels of sustainable independent futures.
