Prioritize Their Interests

Always keep their interests in mind, bridging the gap between your tastes informed by experience and their unjaded joy of discovery. By understanding and engaging in what they enjoy, meaningful connections can be fostered. For instance, Jennifer Doudna's father's simple act of providing a science book led to the development of mRNA vaccines. Connecting with your children through their interests can lead to unexpected and impactful outcomes.
