In this podcast episode, Dr. Ragaratnam discusses the critical importance of "hardwiring" essential skills in children during their infancy. For me, this brought to mind the Biblical proverb "train up a child in the way they should go," Dr. Ragaratnam emphasizes the importance of instilling fundamental abilities and values in children from a young age. He highlights the challenges that arise when children are not adequately trained during their formative years, leading to significant issues that can persist into adulthood. Dr. Ragaratnam also highlights the significant financial costs associated with treating adults who are trying to address childhood wounds and develop skills that could have been learned earlier. This episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for parents and caregivers on how to promote healthy development in children and set them up for success in life.

Why the connection to the 21st. century skills?
