It takes less than a minute on social media to notice that there is a skill that is lacking in our world: critical thinking. It’s not what you might think… sitting in a stuffy classroom, reading texts, thinking about them and deciding what’s right or wrong. Critical thinking is MUCH deeper than that, and MUCH more important in our world today. If there is one skill you want to teach your teens today- this is it.

Join Julie Bogart and I on the podcast this week for a fascinating conversation on what critical thinking is, and what it is not. Julie is known for her commonsense writing, critical thinking and home education advice. Her podcast and social media are wildly popular sources of support to weary, well-intentioned parents. Julie home educated her five children who are now globe-trotting adults. Today, Julie lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.

What we delve into today:

Helping support writers in your home to love writing, and learn to express themselves in powerful ways
What critical thinking is, and how it deepens self-awareness
Sitting in the discomfort of opinions that are different than yours to increase your own growth
How to foster critical thinking in your kids
