Every modern resident has heard something about the letters of the Latin alphabet that brand different generations.
This is not done simply for chronological convenience. It is believed that each generation has its own peculiarities in worldview, motivation, and is generally different from others.
What to expect from children of the Beta generation, how to teach and raise them, Mel.fm reports with reference to an expert.
Children of the Beta generation
In short, these are children who were born and will be born in 2025 and later. Their parents should get ready.
Theory of generational development
The idea was put forward by American scientists. Here is a brief description of the various representatives in light of their attitude to education.
Boomers (1943–1960): For them, education seemed unattainable. For them, it was enough to acquire basic skills.
They considered education itself, as well as the title of teacher and scientist, to be prestigious.
Generation X (1965–1980). For these people, education was a link in the chain. Without it, it was impossible to get a normal or good job.
They actively instilled their theory in their children. But imagine how they felt when they learned that a diploma alone is not enough to earn a consistently high income! But that's another story.
Generation Y (1981-1996). Gentlemen millennials – this is about us. That is, everyone who remembers the collapse of the USSR, the instability of the 90s and the emergence of a market economy.
Many of us have received higher education degrees and become lawyers and economists, but what good does it do?
A generation hardened by an unstable world has learned to build a personal system of values. What can you say if everything is clear anyway...
Generation Z (1996-2010): For them, everything their grandparents and parents say about the importance of education is like something said in a foreign language.
They are not just willing to work as hard as they can. Many refuse higher education and have a negative attitude towards it.
They tell their children that grades don't matter, which can in turn create the wrong value system in them.
Generation Alpha (2010-2024). These are able to get information from any source. They get the word "google" with their mother's milk.
They grow up under the influence of bloggers and their parents are not able to impose any values on them.
In short, this generation wants to have what they need and want here and now. What kind of education is that?
Generation Beta: The lucky ones born in 2025 will grow up under the increasing influence of digitalization.
For them, the socialization process will take place offline and online, simultaneously.
This is the generation that will be the first to experience the fruits of multi-education, so the algorithms that were familiar to previous generations will not work for these children.
How to educate them
Experts advise parents of Beta children to instill critical thinking in their offspring, teach them to analyze information and have their own point of view.
Their future will depend on their ability to distinguish fakes and AI-created environments from the truth.
