Love this message. Let kids be kids, and let them enjoy their childhood.

I am reminded about Bill Gates who wrote his first program at 13 years old. But here is the difference: nobody forced him to do it. Programming was his hobby, and the computer was his playground. But what we are doing today is forcing our kids to learn things when we need to allow them freedom.

[@jeffyusuf328]

Thanks you nailed it.🥰

[@Softdattel]

Let the Kids enjoy and play in thge natural world, that is the best preparation for science, tell the people what it's about. Great work-

[@calender3721]

Love this, it needed to be said because there’s so many “Teach your kid coding/AI” posts I see daily. Also I want to say thanks for your content, I hope one day I can go from beginner to awesome scientist 😎

[@codebasics]

I wish you all the best in your scientist career dreams Cal Ender 👍

[@hiramemon6047]

I appreciate your advice. What you said about sports is spot on! I've been feeling down recently, and now I'm considering joining sports clubs to get back my communication skills. That's a really important component. Thank you!

[@CloudAdvocate]

💯 agree with you. Let them have fun.

[@acryolitic3322]

Sir, please make a video regarding how to use data analysis and python for financial analysis and forecasting. I am pursuing CFA (chartered financial analyst) and I want to learn data analysis in such a way that it can be useful in my finance domain and provide me an edge over others. Please make a video on in which manner (steps) we should learn data analytics for finance

[@codebasics]

Yes I am planning to make videos on how to use data analysis in different sectors. Lot of amazing content is coming up. Stay tuned!

[@gravemind7545]

As someone doing Diploma in Data Science and Programming right now, I agree with all the points mentioned in this video. That said, I have discovered that the most important factor for choosing your career is actually not your passion, but your personality. I myself have always been passionate about theoretical physics and wanted to become a researcher, but it simply didn't suit my personality. On the other hand, I had always found coding boring in my school days, but recently realised it suits my personality the best and have now become passionate about it.

[@vishwajitbhagat9515]

That's what I tell to every parents I know, who want their kids to be coding geek or master AI. Those childhood days will never come back.Let them enjoy, things will get sort out eventually

[@sudiptakumari2172]

True sir. Nowadays parents are making their child's life tensed . a very good topic you raised and I also have very strong feeling for this. Also these reality shows giving a very negative impact on them . whatever they are seeing on tv they are also expecting " mera bacha bhi mera naam roshan karein" . nowadays parents are aggressively making their child to earn , to be extra ordinary.. it's a request from parents dont be so harsh with your child.

[@chandrabhatt]

Same as parents preparing their kids for IAS

[@codebasics]

Yes civil services and IIT exams is another big thing screwing up childhoods for many

[@chandrabhatt]

@@codebasics yes. That’s why I always aspired to have IAS friends instead of being an IAS 😀

[@billinioreteachings]

Thanks for breaking out the new norms of turning kids into robots ! Your talk and advices are close to the nature of a human kid and his or her psychology! You are a true tech teacher 😃 😊

[@vibestouchessoul2602]

Parents plz plz plz don't ruin your childs childhood it's their beautiful and memorable part of life today is data science tomorrow may be block chain or something new don't do this let them enjoy childhood because at the end of the day every thing is going on for bread and butter .

[@karthikbalasubramania1549]

What a beautiful parenting/child management guide

[@investor615]

Agree with you on not to create fear and pressure but Don't Agree with you on not allowing learning at childhood age. The challenge is you are associating learning with IT and career. Also, such learning has nothing to with other childhood activities when done out of self interest and passion and not by force. Every child is different and not everybody has to become singer. A proper balance is required for overall developement which is true at any age and not just at Childhood. The critical part is way of learning and not the age or learning itself.

[@alwinshoots]

Very well said, let the child be happy and teach them to be curious and learn at their own pace. Don't force your ambitions on them.

[@darjivishva8865]

100% agree with all that you have said here

[@aiminsen]

Coming from a parent with the same concern how best to nurture my child in a healthy and positive way, I appreciate your candid perspective. My takeaways: 1. Give them the freedom and environment to develop and discover their ikigai 2. Focus on fundamental knowledge instead of tools that may be transient 3. Develop their core skills, namely social skills, teamwork, strategy, empathy. Outdoor team sports is an excellent avenue.

[@khanjanjoshi3932]

A very great initiative.....every parent should watch this video and also students must understand that soft skills are as important as technical skills

[@akankshasharma1178]

Thnk God! Someone feel like my parents N including..now a days parents bring up their child to get influenced by such things not to admire by them.. because if we admire by anything..we get never bore, never destroy our children's naughtiness..so , v gud message for parents.. n in covid..ab parents jyda pgla gye h..3 saal k bachche ko jabrdasti coding seekhana rather than dance or other physical activity...so thnks to u..

[@devchoudhary8892]

I agree with you on some stuff but if any kid/teenager is interested in AI/Data Science they should go for it and the thing about the math and the fundamental skills is that you learn the best when you know where to apply what you have learned when you are curious about the math behind those fancy frameworks (Tensorflow, Scikit-learn) and you learn it that is when you learn the best I dropped out of high school in 8th grade and it's been almost 1.5 years and right now I am building my own startup company anyskill around AI so if you are interested in AI/Data Science Start learning and creating don't wait for your school or college to finish "Learning to Create, Creating to Learn"

Nice message

[@codebasics]

NVIDIA's CEO , Jensun Huang was a table tennis champion. Lewis howes (famous podcaster) was a committed football player and I know so many personally who in their childhood were amazing in sports and extracurricular activities and they used those raw skills to build an amazing careers. I fully support "Creating to learn" concept but the question we need to ask ourselves is "IS it coming at a cost of compromising on *essential childhood activities* ? We are seeing a rise of no code tools and in the future people having core skills (communication, analytical thinking, domain understanding) will shine better than others. I was talking with few indian parents and I'm very disappointed to hear horror stories of a child being pressured just because some e-learning company is using their FOMO fears. Whatever I am saying here is based on REAL EXPERIENCE of me running a successful company and also my past experience of working with big tech companies and mentoring hundreds of junior professionals.

[@passionatehealthykitchen]

Totally agree. Very well said. I never know how much I get pissed off when these companies call, pester and push the parents to enroll their kids to AI or Coding. Funniest part is they say they have coding classes for 2nd or 3rd grader when these age kids really learn to spell the word coding. Sundar pichai or Sathya nadella did not learn coding in 2nd grade. I would rather blame parents trying to push these children to learn something that is not necessary. What will a future doctor or even a designer or artist has to do with coding?

[@vlakshmihappygardening9178]

Thankyou sir, you cleared confusion among parents, especially for me I will let my kid to have fun rather than putting him to learn coding from school age. Your message is like an eye opener to all the parents out there. You clearly put out your message on how important is play and sports. From now onwards I will take my kid regularly to the local park sir. Lots of love, respect to you sir. You will be the reason for my kids smile everyday as he loves going to park and play. You reinforced this with your message.

[@MzeeRatili]

The idea isn't forcing your kids into science n stuff ...the idea is to introduce these concepts in a kid-friendly manner such that if they are interested, they can indulge n learn

[@codebasics]

I wish e-learning companies understand this. I have heard lot of horrible stories.

[@niteshprajapat7918]

True words. Cause nowadays kids at the age of 12 are web developers, data analytics n, etc. I thought ki Are they actually enjoying their childhood or not? Everyone is in the race to gain money. Hope they enjoy their childhood as old school people used to.

Many are not understanding the core of any computer related things as nobody can teach the trend or pattern until kids are left to be creative. As we are pushing kids to learn methodically, we are basically teaching them to be future labor than future enterpreneur. God bless future generation.

[@kirthivasan10]

A child should enjoy his or her childhood and this generation kids are missing out that because of certain parents who want their kids to have superlative brain to grasp more complex things at very tender age! Make the children's dream come true rather than forcing them to learn the things world need!

[@erumalibhatti1218]

Many many thanks for spreading this message...its surely a need of timw that preparing for kids it too early ,thier childhood is distroyed...let them learn n grow with thier own pace....career will be made but learning and experiencing will never come back....please spread this message as much as we can ,as a parent I'm concerned about this rat race of pressure on kids future learning or career

Hello Sir , Myself Nimai Barman , a student of B.Sc Physics at last year . Around 2-3 months my Graduation will complete . But for the pandemic situation my concept about physics is very bad . I introduced with Python at first year for first time for our Physics practical and I fall in love with Python . My Mathematics concept also good . I learned numpy , matplotlib , scipy in our college class and pandas from you . Actually I learned many things from you since 2 year . Sir , I found you at youtube at 2020 and I watched Every videos from now. You are my inspiration , sir . Sir , I am very confuse about my career . I wants to learn data science but for academic course I don't have financial support from my parents and when I start learning data science from youtube and kaggle etc. I afraid that is this way can I learned data science . Please give me some suggestions and tips to build my confidence so that I can learn data science . Thank you sir .

[@adamyapgoyal]

Namai I am in a different situation from you but yes, you can learn data science from online. Google certificate course on Coursera gives what you study as a start. You can do the entire course without paying but you won't get a certificate without paying. Do projects on your own (see KZbin videos that guide you on projects to do) and that will help you build your resume/profile for free. The Google course is very good. It will also give you guidance on building resume etc.

[@codebasics]

Nimai, you can absolutely learn data science from free resources such as youtube. I know one freelancer who followed my sales insights powerbi playlist and learn few other skills online then he started as a data analyst freelancer on upwork.com and today he is a top ranking freelancer earning probably 35$ or more per hour. In youtube search "codebasics upwork freelancer" you will find that video. Knowledge has been democratized and if you have a will power you can learn anything for free without spending a single $$$

I'm all for making kids aware of technologies. But let the kids choose for themselves what they want to do with their lives. I feel like making kids learn what you want them to learn is a selfish thing to do and is rarely a success. Let them discover their interest which may or may not have anything to do with computers. That's how you build a society with diverse talents.

Everyone wants to go behind the trending technologies in demand right now, this huge supply can create imbalance in supply-demand chain and after few years the course or technology itself will become overrated. From last academic year many Engineering colleges have started engineering in AI/ML if u see that syllabus its a very basic one and same faculties are trained to teach that who just give theoritiacal knowledge. So again when u come out after 4 yrs u need to join some course to have actual knowledge and experience from industry experts. Offcourse few talents explore and learn it on their own but majority needs proper guidance.

[@UnknownUnknown-ud2mi]

If parents are professionals in any area they can teach the skills they know happily and slowly to their kids. If farmers think let my kid not learn farming from childhood there won't be any farmer left in the world because working in fields is not a job you can pick right after college graduation. What about Carnatic music, classical dance, playing music instruments, kunfu, math Olympiads, science Olympiads, public speaking, spell bee etc In western countries parents are teaching programing for kids from the age of 7. For physical or mental or emotional activates body should be trained. Current Indian education is taught without practical application. Datascience and machine learning is practical application of Math. If you know matrices and transforming them their application is one way of solving ML problems. If you know probability it practical application is ML. If you know calculus its practical application is ML. If you know algebra its practical application is ML. I dont know what you are saying and you should stop giving bad advices. Experts are born only when they learn skills from childhood. With technology it keeps evolving. Learning how to apply Mathematics is never a bad thing. If you are still thinking of a world where kids learn only one thing that is wrong assumption, kids learn lot of things. Making sure that they learn things with enthusiasm is key. As an Senior ML engineer i know what ML is and i know what i am talking. I think you don't know what Datascience and ML is and you are scared of it, so you started scaring others too. Its like giving a telescope to kids to look at sky to find patterns, Kids will love it. Don't scare parents and kids with your half-knowledge.
