You are already doing this.
If you have ever sat down with your child and tried to explain why something matters, you have done the work this conference is about. The hard part of raising a child in this decade is not getting them to school. It is sitting across from them at the table and choosing, together, what is worth their attention in a world that is trying very hard to take all of it.
Randoseru is the practice we built around that conversation. It is a physical pack of cards that arrives at your door, a hundred points to spend, and four days a year when families all over the world sit down on the same day and choose what goes in their child’s metaphorical bag for the season ahead.
The October session of POST AI is one of those four days.
“Children can tell when a question is real and when it is a quiz. Real questions are rare. The conference is a chance to ask one.” POST AI
What the conversation is for.
The instinct most parents have is to fill their child with as much as possible. The best schools, the right activities, the maximum number of skills before the world gets harder than it already is. We understand the instinct. We do not think it is the right one.
The children who are going to do well in the next twenty years are the ones who know who they are. Not in a vague self-esteem sense. In the specific sense of being able to say, at fourteen, I am the kind of person who notices when someone is left out. I am the kind of person who would rather make something with my hands than buy it. I am the kind of person who reads. A child who can complete those sentences will be fine in any world we end up building.
The way they learn to complete those sentences is by sitting across from somebody who loves them and being asked, repeatedly and with care, what matters to you? That is the conversation Randoseru is built to make easier. POST AI is the week we all do it together.
One thing about doing this with your kids
Most of what your children will remember about this conversation is not what they said. It is that you sat down with them and asked them a serious question, and waited for the answer, and listened to it. Children can tell when a question is real and when it is a quiz. Real questions are rare. The conference is a chance to ask one.
You will not get it perfect. None of us do. The point is not perfection. The point is the sitting down.
How to take part.
If you are a Randoseru family, you do not need to register separately for the October conference. Your circle during Teachers’ Week is your participation. You will receive your pack as normal. Your dashboard will reflect the global picture as it always does.
If you would like to join Randoseru, the page is below. If you are not ready to commit to a full year of the practice but you would like your family to take part in the October conference as a one-time circle, you can do that too. The circle format works at the kitchen table with your own children as the room.
Either way, the price of a family pass to POST AI is included in your Randoseru membership. You do not pay twice for the same conversation.
