Raising and educating children is always about their future. We want to give them the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in the world of work, build positive relationships with other people and find personal happiness. To achieve this goal, we must ask ourselves: How will today's children live in 20 or 40 years? What kind of world will they have to cope with? What challenges will they be confronted with? What knowledge will they need? How can we make children "fit for the future"? These questions are answered in this book. The first part describes how futurologists imagine the world in 20 or 30 years. After each chapter, relevant skills are listed that individuals need to cope with the respective future trends. The skills and qualifications needed are summarized in the second part of the book. In the third, fourth and fifth part of the book it is discussed how families, daycare centers and schools can make children "fit for the future".
