How to Raise a World Class Citizen – Part 1 | ep. 43

Overview:

What if 252 days—that small, fleeting window—was all the time you truly had to shape your child’s future? At Big Five, we believe the biggest successes happen in small moments—those everyday experiences that cultivate resilience, empathy, and leadership.

In this episode of The Sustainable Voice, we explore how sustainable travel and intentional parenting help raise children who are not just independent, but also globally aware and compassionate. From the patience learned on family road trips to navigating international airports solo, these seemingly small experiences leave an imprint that lasts a lifetime.

Stories of Success in Small Places

Through personal stories and real-world lessons, we uncover how even the simplest journeys—like sharing meals in unfamiliar cultures or learning from setbacks on the road—shape children into future changemakers. These moments teach the skills they need to thrive in an uncertain world, where adaptability, sustainability, and kindness are essential.
