How Do You Raise Your Kids To Be Critical Thinkers?

Critical thinking is a skill that every child needs to develop in order to succeed in school and life.  But many parents don't know how to talk about critical thinking with their children, or they are unsure of what questions to ask.  Kids need opportunities for dialogue at home so they can practice these skills and learn the value of critical thinking.


Raising Critical Thinkers offers tools, resources and support designed specifically for helping parents have conversations with their kids about important topics such as values & ethics, science & technology, politics, social issues, and more.  Our goal is to help parents teach their kids how to think critically so they feel empowered when faced with challenges beyond the classroom or dinner table.

The Why:

Parents and families, more now than ever,  MUST recognize, value, and leverage their power to support critical thinking development in their children. However, families today are becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the enormity of their responsibilities.

The How:

Raising Critical Thinkers provides quick, easy-to-use resources and digital materials that every caregiver can fit into their busy schedules.

Lay a strong foundation for your kids so that you know they can grapple with anything that comes their way in school and life.

  • As parents, we want to raise critical thinkers who are able to think for themselves and make good decisions in life.
  • Unfortunately, the world is full of misinformation that can get kids confused about important issues.
  • Raising Critical Thinkers helps you have conversations with your kids at home so they will be better prepared in school and life.

What Our Users Are Saying:

I absolutely recommend this - its an easy way to have to have a "real" (not a what would happen if Godzilla and Mothra combined to make a super titan?) conversation but one that allows each person to reveal a little bit of themselves in a conversational way.


Julia S. - Parent

“ 

Thought out and extremely easy to follow.  All the materials needed are provided.


Jennifer - Parent

“ 

The biggest benefit so far from using Raising Critical Thinkers is being able to have deeper conversations and challenging my child to think about answers.  I love seeing them work through their thought process and explain their reasoning.  Would I recommend this? Yes, absolutely! The topics are current to today's events and helps kids and parents think about the why of their opinion.

It is has provided a way for my husband and I to challenge our teenager's thinking over non-hot button issues, so those hot button issues are being discussed more calmly.
