EDUCATION & CAPABILITY
RAISING CAPABLE KIDS

AI is changing how we learn, create and work. What might children need as the future evolves and how can we support critical thinking, curiosity, independence and the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems?

​

Raising Capable Children explores these questions through articles, free guides and thoughtful experiences for kids. Our perspective is informed by the Formative Capability Framework™, developed through Intentional Studio™, our research and framework studio. We consider how everyday choices can build on one another over time, helping children explore their interests and deepen their abilities while preserving room to grow.

THE FORMATIVE CAPABILITY FRAMEWORK

​​

Future readiness begins with opportunities to understand and participate in the world. Children need knowledge to think with, experiences that spark curiosity, and opportunities to make decisions, solve problems and take increasing responsibility.

​

Developed through Intentional Studio™, the Formative Capability Framework™ explores how learning, family life and experiences can connect across childhood. Informed by behavioural science and child development, it considers how appropriate challenge, repeated practice and specialist guidance can support critical thinking, increasingly independent action and the development of genuine interests.

​

We’re developing practical resources to help parents apply this thinking as their children grow. Subscribe to The Kensington Diary newsletter for articles, free guides and updates as these resources become available.
