Parenting in the quantum age requires more than rules about screen time or fear-based reactions to new technologies. It requires a way of understanding childhood itself as it unfolds across physical, digital, and synthetic environments. The Quantum Child Framework offers a practical, science-grounded model for raising children who can thrive in a world shaped by rapid technological change. This chapter introduces the five core capacities that form the foundation of this book and explains why they matter now more than ever.
