Training the critical mind

Critical thinking education by Julie Bogart ... the book presents a concept of education not limited to acquiring knowledge in various academic fields only, but also considering that education is related to how to understand why and how we believe in what we do, at a time when online media created a chaos that pushes information and opinions continuously without stopping, causing educators to feel worried about the question "How will the youth interact with what they read and watch?", amidst this noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different viewpoints with curiosity and insight, but how will parents train their children on those skills? Relying on more than twenty years of experience in homeschooling and curriculum development, author Julie Bogart offers through many stories, activities, and experiments practical tools to help children develop their abilities and explore the world around them, study how loyalties and biases affect their ideas, and then form an authentic vision instead of just recycling what they have learned. This book is a valuable resource for parents and teachers interested in nurturing alert minds and sensitive hearts in young children.
