What Makes You Stand Out?

Have you ever thought about the one belief you hold that sets you apart from the crowd?

Maybe it’s your conviction that kids should learn to think critically instead of being told what to think. Or your belief that true generosity comes from the heart, not from government mandates. 

Maybe it’s the way you prioritize family time in a world that constantly pulls us in a hundred different directions.

It takes courage to stand out—especially when the world is pushing so hard for conformity. Everywhere we turn, there’s pressure to go along with the group, to stay quiet about our values, or to let someone else make our decisions for us. 

But history shows us that real progress has always come from individuals who had the courage to break from the crowd and stand firm in their convictions.

This is one of the most important lessons we can teach our kids: that it’s okay to be different, to hold beliefs that challenge the status quo, and to think for ourselves. 

It’s not always the easiest path, but it’s the one that leads to growth, innovation, and a life lived with purpose.

Over the last week, we’ve shared resources that encourage some really important conversations. Today is the final day of our Five Days of Freebies, and we’re finishing strong with a story from our Tuttle Times magazine about individualism vs. collectivism.

It’s a core divide that shapes how societies function—and how governments operate. 

And it’s an important concept for kids to understand early in life.

Download today’s freebie now to jump into this topic with your family. It’s packed with engaging ways to spark meaningful dinner table discussions with questions like:

• Are there times when the needs of a group should outweigh individual freedoms?
• Why is it important to take responsibility for your own actions?

These questions can lead to some eye-opening conversations—and maybe even help your kids identify the beliefs they hold that make them stand out from the crowd.

And don’t worry; if you’ve missed any of this week’s freebies, you can still snag them on our blog or social media. 

(But don’t wait too long—they won’t be available forever!)

We will all be better off if we do the work now to raise a generation of kids who are brave enough to stand out, who value freedom, and who aren’t afraid to take responsibility for their own lives.

Learning about individualism vs. collectivism is a vital step toward creating a future where we can all thrive.
