What would you want your 13-year-old child to learn, read or watch?
I'm creating a summer curriculum for my 13-year-old son. And I'm putting together a list of books, documentaries and other pieces of wisdom to help my son become a jedi at life.

What do you wish you had known at age 13? What book is a MUST read for him? What documentary changed your life?

The US education system is great for helping kids regurgitate facts, but it doesn't excel at teaching people to become a critical thinker.

What information and knowledge should be on any 13-year-old's radar, aside from religious texts and dogma?

Thanks in advance.

Thought provoking
Thought expansion

try to figure out what he likes and what he's good at

broad subject range would be best imo

learning extra languages is much easier when young

13 is a very impressionable age and you only have his attention for a few more years.

Take him camping.. Rough it. Learn how to skin fish and build fire and put up a tent.

Let the summers lessons come from man classes instead of math books.


I hadn't read the responses prior to mine but I concur. He might forget the passages of higher learning but he will use the man skills for life. They will serve him better.
this.


Exactly this. In fact I might just do this my self...
