About this listen

 A guide for parents to help children of all ages process the onslaught of unfiltered information in the digital age.

Education is not solely about acquiring information and skills across subject areas, but also about understanding how and why we believe what we do. At a time when online media has created a virtual firehose of information and opinions, parents and teachers worry how students will interpret what they read and see. Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these skills to their children?

Drawing on more than twenty years’ experience homeschooling and developing curricula, Julie Bogart offers practical tools to help children at every stage of development to grow in their ability to explore the world around them, examine how their loyalties and biases affect their beliefs, and generate fresh insight rather than simply recycling what they’ve been taught. Full of accessible stories and activities for children of all ages, Raising Critical Thinkers helps parents to nurture passionate learners with thoughtful minds and empathetic hearts.

Brilliant book for parents, I'm finding it will apply to the way I manage my staff as well. I would recommend a better narrator though. It's a nice thought to have the author read their books but she seemed rather robotic, making it harder to follow at times. I'll buy the hard copy.

Great book

This book comes at a very important time in history. I don’t agree with every single point Julie makes but the hard copy will definitely remain on my shelf so we can go back to redo the exercises over time. It’s worthwhile reading even if you don’t have children. I can think of a number of adults who really need to work on their critical thinking skills for sure!
