CIA Learning Tactics for Kids Stuck at Home

Right now, there are 10,000 spies living undercover in Washington, D.C. Greetings Everyday Spy, Right now, there are 10,000 spies living undercover in Washington, D.C. Some are from CIA, like me. But most are not. They are intelligence operatives from around the world who have gone undercover as diplomats, businessmen, journalists, and a variety of other creative identities. They are the best spies their country has in service, and they were all excited to deploy to our Nation’s capital – to the heart of our democracy. But then came the Coronavirus. Spies are specialists, trained in everything from mental judo (aka: ‘[Operational Thinking]( to overseas personal security (aka: ‘[Tactical Weapons and Driving](.

I know parents arguing details about homeschool vs. virtual school vs. going back to school. Most of the chatter flying around on Twitter, Facebook, and the 24 hour news cycle does not help moms and dads engage their children in meaningful learning. But CIA trained me to prepare for long-term isolation. They gave me tools to maintain and even improve my mental and cognitive abilities during times of captivity, quarantine, or hiding. And while not all of those skills are appropriate for children, many of them are. If they can help you right now, then I want you to have them.
