Every parent wants to prepare their child for their future but in today’s world, it can feel more complicated than ever. At CodeREV Kids, we believe that before we can figure out how to best prepare kids for the future, we must consider what the future will actually look like.
Kids are growing up in a world that wants their attention 24/7
Think about how many sounds you hear every day, just from your cell phone. With its dings, vibrations, and ringing, you can see that the world is simply trying to gain our attention all the time. While you may wish for a different world, this is the reality. Kids must be taught to cope with a world that wants their attention all the time. Remember that for many of us, this is a new novelty but for kids it’s the way it’s always been.
Kids are growing up in a world where communication is done through technology
Do you teach your kids manners for real life situations? Of course you do – it’s been common practice for centuries. Yet many parents don’t think about teaching their kids manners online. They need to know they’re expected to be honest and kind, whether in real life or online. A lot of this is taught by the way you act. Kids notice more than you think.
Kids are growing up in a world that’s driven by technology
Technology gives a lot to kids, but it can also come with negative aspects. You don’t want technology to totally consume your child’s life, but you do want to be prepared for the real world.

Check out the classes we offer and let us turn technology from a negative to a positive.
Kids are growing up in a world with endless information – and not all of it is accurate
Kids are growing up in a world where any piece of information they want is available at their fingertips. There’s just one problem: It’s not always accurate information. Do your kids know how to find the truth? Do they know what steps to take to verify any source? These are things kids must learn if they’re going to be contributing members of society.
