We may be preparing children for a world that no longer exists.

Education is falling behind. The world is changing fast, especially with AI. Old systems are no longer enough. Grades are still the focus, but real-life skills are often ignored.

At the same time, mental health is declining. Stress and anxiety are rising. Many children are losing their natural confidence and happiness.

Some call for better tools. Others call for a deeper shift. The real challenge is helping children stay grounded while preparing for the future.

Today, Nadim Saad explains what’s really happening. He breaks down the gaps in education and the rise of emotional intelligence. He also shares what children truly need to thrive.
