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.

Good ideas in hearing but I feel most are not applicable to the average parent.
Writer seemed knowledgeable and never felt like they had one view they were sticking too.

I thought this book was great. It really made me question the way I look at things. I always knew that critical thinking was important, but was kind of stumbling about in the dark when trying to look at things objectively and from different perspectives. I had no idea how to teach it to a child, so this is a handy guide that I’m sure I’ll be listening to over and over again. I feel empowered rather than judged whilst listening to Julie reading this book. She has a great voice, so I’m glad she narrated it herself. Maybe I have a slight bias because I followed her on Instagram before discovering her books, but I trust in her and like her approach.

This is a fantastic listen . Normally ,I recommend this author to my home educating friends , and this book is brilliant for home educating families,but it's more than that. This book is for anybody interested in education and more specifically learning . I like that the author is also the narrator. It's the perfect listen while cooking the evening mea, giving me food for thought l.I love the practical suggestions for different age groups .
