Training the critical mind

Author's name: Julie Bojartar Publisher: Afaq for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Humanities Book overview: The book presents a concept of education that is not limited to acquiring information in various academic fields only, but also considers that education also relates 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 pause, causing educators to worry about the question "How will the youth interact with what they read and watch?" Amid this noise, it has become increasingly important to explore different viewpoints with curiosity and insight, but how will parents train their children on these skills? Relying on more than twenty years of experience in homeschooling and curriculum development, author Julie Bojartar 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 influence their thoughts, and then form an authentic vision instead of merely 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.
