Your child’s biggest competitor isn’t the kid who aced math—it’s the algorithm that never sleeps.

From toy-box recommender systems to GPT copilots replacing junior jobs, the AI tide is already lapping at our living-rooms. So how do you raise a human who stays one move ahead? Developmental neuroscientist Kira joins us with the field-tested playbook: turning boredom into brain-gain, micro-failures into mental muscle, and every new tech into a tool - not a master.

Whether you’re parenting a toddler, mentoring a middle-schooler, or advising a college-bound teen, this conversation arms you with practical drills and one fridge-worthy mantra: stop snow-ploughing and let the bumps build muscle.

Hit play, share with every caregiver you know, and start future-proofing the next generation today.
