What if the secret to raising extraordinary children isn't found in letting them be kids, but in designing their future with intention? Nathaniel Turner, engineer turned revolutionary parent, shares the transformative approach that helped his son speak four languages, earn a PhD, and receive seven fellowship offers.
Turner's journey began with a moment of clarity when he learned he would become a father. As a struggling law student facing limited prospects, he asked himself why his own path hadn't led to greater opportunities. This reflection sparked what he calls the "backward design blueprint" – obtaining a Harvard application and reverse-engineering a childhood that would qualify his son for any opportunity he might desire.
The power of Turner's approach lies in its intentionality. Rather than viewing his child as merely a kid, he saw a "man in training" from day one. This perspective shift fundamentally changed how he approached parenting. Perhaps most movingly, Turner began writing letters to his son Naeem from age two – letters that would eventually become his book "Raising Supaman" and provide guidance even when they were separated by thousands of miles.
Through his League of Extraordinary Parents, Turner now helps other families apply these principles. The results speak volumes: young people attending prestigious universities like Rochester, Michigan, and Notre Dame – often on full scholarships. These aren't isolated success stories but evidence that intentional parenting creates extraordinary possibilities.
