�️📣Parents: Shorten Feedback Loops

When training children shorten their feedback loops.

That means making sure that the time between the child’s decision and their discovery of its consequences should be as short as possible.

This MASSIVELY speeds up learning.

Your job as a parent is to teach your children how to (think) make better decisions and how to act on them.

The ability to make good decisions in one area can partially be transferred into other areas.

They need lots of practice. Rounds of OODA looping.

Decisions that involve risk and danger teach children more about how to think than decisions with no consequences.

They are also more exciting and command more attention from the child, further improving retention and learning.

Excellent tools that teach quick thinking, risk management and social smarts for children.

Remember to let them feel the struggle of training the joy of winning and the pain of losing. They need the WHOLE experience.

Very often finding an external coach will help your child more than if you teach them because they become exposed to new ways of problem solving.
