As kids head back to school, it’s easy to get wrapped up in grades, test scores, and report cards.

But the truth?

The skills that matter most in life rarely fit neatly into a letter or percentage.

Curiosity.
Resilience.
Creativity.
The ability to work with others, solve problems, and adapt when life doesn’t go as planned.

These are the things that shape who our kids become… long after the homework is forgotten.

Let’s remember to celebrate those wins, too.

The drop in creativity from childhood to adulthood isn’t an accident .

It’s the result of years of rewarding the “right” answer over original thinking.

As parents, we can make room for the wrong answers, the wild ideas, the messy experiments.

That’s where creativity lives.

What did you love doing as a kid that you’ve stopped doing as an adult?

When we need to hit pause, I like to cuddle up with a book, do dance challenges on , chase our chickens and ducks, watch clouds, make a hot drink, doodle side‑by‑side, cook something simple, share a funny video, or go on a bike ride to our favorite bakery.

What’s your go to mood changer?

School taught us to march in line, chase grades, and wait to be picked.

Real life?

You set the pace.
You pick yourself.
You solve problems in your own way.

Let’s stop preparing kids for a world that doesn’t exist and start teaching them how the real one works.

Your child is more than a score.
More than how fast they can finish a worksheet.
More than how well they sit still.

Tests might measure memorization, but they miss the most important stuff: resilience, curiosity, creativity, emotional intelligence… the very things that help kids thrive in the real world.

Let’s talk about it 👇
