In today's post, I thought I would write about what it is to think critically. But what exactly is critical thinking? Let's start by clarifying the oblivious! All humans think, how else would we ever make a decision. For example, will I get out of bed on this cold wet winter morning? Or will I stay in bed and avoid the forces of mother nature?
The following activities are child-led and work best when they take place after a story has been told. Because this is child-led, the adult has minimal input to the thinking from which the activity will develop. For that reason, the adult’s role is to encourage all children to participate in the activities and to facilitate and implement the children’s ideas.
Would you like to become a source of entertainment for your child? During these unpredictable times, the most important message I can offer is to enjoy your time with your children. Stories are a great way to do this because people are hardwired to listen to stories.
