Parents! When your kids ask questions, make sure to answer them kindly, don't just shut them down. There’s a big difference between guiding them and punishing them. Treat their curiosity with care and love, and help them learn and feel valued. Children are gifts from God; treat them wisely ❤️ Watch more at https://lnkd.in/grS7msae

🔥 This post came up in my feed, and after watching it a few times, it really made me think. If Bill Gates, the inventor of modern computing as we know it, is being told by his daughter that email is outdated for personal communication, it begs the question: ↦ ↦ When the rules change, who decides how they change? ↦ ↦ ↦ Is it the inventors or the users? As the next generation rewrites how we communicate and interact, are we staying connected with these shifts and adapting fast enough to keep up? How do we, as leaders and innovators, ensure we remain relevant when the very tools we created are evolving beyond our original vision? I’d love to hear your thoughts! ⚠️ Side note; 'Lit' does not mean Literally 🤣 #AdaptToChange #Innovation #GenerationalShift #TechnologyEvolution

This is actually a message that's very important for anyone trying to maintain businesses that are up to date and willing to keep up with their current marketing. Things that were acceptable just a few years ago are not acceptable today. As new generations come up, what they consider relevant is very different from the previous generation. If you have children, or know people that have children, and interact with them regularly, you will see this taking place. If you call anyone, the likelihood of them actually answering the phone is extremely reduced from what it would have been just 20 or 30 years before. These days, if you call someone, you don't really expect them to answer the phone. If they do answer it's usually more of a surprise than anything. Instead, if you don't leave a message or have them see your caller ID, you'll probably never hear back from them. The same thing applies if you were to go to someone's door and either knock on it or ring the doorbell. Whereas before, people would be very likely to answer it, now, if they don't have a video system connected to their doorbell and just talk to you on that, they are very likely to not even bother to answer the door if they aren't expecting a person to show up. This can also be seen in the fact that people who deliver packages such as Amazon, UPS and the Postal Service don't even bother knocking on or ringing your doorbell when delivering your packages anymore even though it's part of their required duties. They just leave it on the porch and walk away.

Not your average LinkedIn post, yet needed to be shared cause almost always the lessons are in the simplest things. "A Squash and a Squeeze" has become my toddler's bedtime favorite; those vibrant images are a hit. While she's currently enchanted by the pictures, I know the story's lesson about appreciating simplicity will resonate when she's older. It's amusing how she sees family resemblances in the characters, especially thinking the lady looks like her Naani – that's a conversation I'll need to navigate delicately! And the wise old man resembling her "Baba" (Guru Nanak); which does sound about right and adds a cultural twist, making our bedtime routine not just entertaining but subtly profound. So, amidst the fun, there's a sprinkle of wisdom, creating bedtime magic for us both. It's not just a bedtime tale for my toddler; it's a gentle reminder for us grown-ups to declutter and focus on what truly matters. Get rid of the excesses, cause little is exactly what you need. Give it a read if you haven't already, it's one for all libraries.
