What’s my biggest fear for my kids, knowing what I know about the future?

What’s my biggest fear for my kids, knowing what I know about the future?

It’s not that they won’t learn to code. It’s not that they’ll miss out on AI or the next big tech trend.

It’s that they’ll lose their curiosity.

In a world changing as fast as ours, specific skills will come and go. Today it’s prompt engineering, tomorrow it’s something we haven’t even imagined yet.

But the one trait that will always keep you in the game, regardless of the tools or titles, is curiosity. The drive to ask better questions. The willingness to explore what you don’t know. The humility to keep learning, even when you think you’ve mastered it.

With my own kids, we’ve stopped obsessing over what technical skills they should master. Instead, we ask:
“Hey, what are you curious about today?”
“Play with this, see what you can create.”
“Interesting, what do you think might happen next?”

Curiosity isn’t just a nice-to-have.
It’s the foundation of adaptability, creativity, and resilience.

So if you’re a leader, a parent, or just someone looking ahead… maybe don’t ask, “What should I teach them?”
Ask, “How do I help them stay curious?”

That’s the real advantage in the age of uncertainty.
