Raising Renaissance Kids: Our Daily Curriculum Revealed

Описание: In this deep‑dive I walk you through the real‑world curriculum I use with my 7‑ and 10‑year‑old—an approach built around renaissance‑level mastery, daily compounding practice, and kids’ own buy‑in rather than coercion.

8 Daily Pillars:
1. Reading (1.5‑2 hrs) – Hundreds of hand‑picked books, total freedom of choice, zero forcing.
2. Sports (1.5‑2.5 hrs) – Tennis & table‑tennis drills every day; private coaching + “daily reps” philosophy.
3. Math (30 min) – Modified Kumon for true skill mastery.
4. Writing / Spelling / Drawing (30‑60 min) – Journals, spelling sprints, creative sketching.
5. Second Language (20‑30 min) – Custom Korean curriculum via 1‑on‑1 Zoom tutors; fluency as goal.
6. Music (20‑30 min) – Piano practice, sight‑reading, and constant exposure to singing & rhythm.
7. Game & Game Design (30-60 min) – Guided iPad time plus AI‑assisted coding on Replit/Claude.
8. Other Growth Areas – Taekwondo, golf, skateboarding, balance work, and plenty of imaginative free play.

Core Principles:
1. Zone of Proximal Development: keep them slightly uncomfortable, always learning.
3. High Agency & Autonomy: no bribes or punishments—kids choose and own their goals.
4. Efficiency Hacks: world‑class input in short, focused sessions.
5. Character First: wisdom, empathy and decision‑making trump test scores.
