Here’s a quick post on why the Japanese manufacturing concept of kaizen is probably the most valuable lesson you can teach your child. A word meaning “continuous improvement”, or literally “good change”, kaizen principles call you to always strive to get a little better at what you’re doing every day. As a teacher and a parent, I find that focusing on kaizen is an essential part of my life that I try to share with others. I hope you will find the same in your own life, and please tell us about your experiences in the comments.
