Episode 030 - Critical Thinking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Actually recorded in 2025 but life happens and we went on vacation (which was so amazing!) Welcome to 2026! To pickup where we left off with our episode on polite truths, we focus on the importance of critical thinking. In a world where what is real is being redefined, how can parents help teach our kids how to be certain what they see is truly fact? LenEll is so good and really highlights the importance of evidence based thinking. Our whole belief system is based our degree of certainty. What happens when we believe we are right? If we read it on the internet it must be true! Teaching by categories of low, more and high certainty is the difference of sometimes vs often vs always. Try telling a 5 year old we "might" be able to ... we dare you. Validating feelings, teaching discernment in information and always allowing room for conversation is so important. Perhaps the most important skill we can impart on our kids is how to critically think for themselves.
