In the near future our country will go tits up. The big cities will become killing zones, ships will NOT be delivering Amazon crap to our shores nor will oil come this way. Taxes will have to go up, people will resort to theft, deceit, and harmfulness in order to survive.

Teach your kids how to live off the land. Teach them to fish, grow crops, and how to wipe their butts with old newspapers or weeds.

Seriously, think about a future where there is no carbon based fuels, no way to transport heating oil and nuclear reactors being shut down because no one is there to run them. The kids had better be able to feed themselves, heat their abode, and figure out how to clothe themselves lest they be left in the dust and have to rely upon others for their well being.

They will have to learn how to utilize the God given resources that are in a one mile radius of their house or they will be dead of starvation within a month. Have them watch TV shows like Alone and Naked and Afraid on how to survive. Don't teach them how to bury their heads in the sand, teach them how to survive and thrive in a world with less conviencses.
