Rule #1: Limit Tech Involved

Rule #2: Limit Project Scope

Rule #3: Learn How To Learn

Jeff: And finally the most important rule number three:

Mady: Your job as a parent isn’t to give us kids the answers. Your job is to help us learn how to learn so that we can become self sufficient.

Jeff: I can’t emphasize enough how important this is...or how difficult. As a parent who wants to see my kids succeed it is really, really hard for me to see them struggle to find an answer and not just give them the answer. The temptation is great, but the key I have found is to pause and think yourself about what you would do if you didn’t know the right answer. How do decide on what to actually google? When you go to a landing page, exactly how do you analyze the value of the information on that site. These are all things we do as developers on a daily basis almost unconsciously. But there are a series of rules in our head that we’re following and a big part of our role at this stage is to look inside our own heads to extra out those rules for the sake of our little coders.
