How to cultivate critical thinking in children
Critical thinking is one of the most important competencies we can teach our children. Being a critical thinker helps children to navigate the world around them and understand their experiences in meaningful ways. Critical thinking helps children to process information, make decisions that support their goals and best interests, compare and contrast, understand subtle cues from others, analyse information, build discernment, and strengthen their thinking skills. While it’s important to teach children to build knowledge and recite facts, teaching critical thinking skills to children is crucial for their lifelong development, learning abilities, and success in life.
