How to teach young children to think critically with Julie Bogart

In today’s episode, we are joined by Julie Bogart, author of Raising Critical Thinkers and The Brave Learner. We all know the story of the three little pigs, but have you heard it from the wolf’s perspective? Every story has two sides, Julie explains how we can use simple storytelling and poems to introduce the concept of critical thinking to our young children. She urges parents to stop with the “parental propaganda” and allow children to collect their own data and draw conclusions for themselves. Getting your kids to cooperate boils down to understanding why your child doesn’t want to cooperate, what is the WHY behind the meltdown? We take some time to understand the baby steps of learning to read and really realize how important reading is for success in all subjects. Julie has a very interesting stance on how important homework and testing are, tune in to see if you agree!“Follow your child but follow as his leader” – Maria MontessoriYou can join Julie:https://bravewriter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliebravewriter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BraveWriter The Brave Learner: https://thebravelearner.com/ Raising Critical Thinkers: https://raisingcriticalthinkers.com/ Books mentioned in this episode: Pedagogy of the Oppressed HERERaising Critical Thinkers by Julie Bogart HEREThe Brave Learner: Finding Everyday Magic in Homeschool, Learning, and Life by Julie Bogart HEREPlease leave a rating for our podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

Numerous studies show us that if we don't do this, it trickles down to our kids and they begin to struggle with their emotional health and behavior.  Join Montreal-based neuroscientist and mom of 3 Dr. Cindy Hovington as she breaks down the science of parental emotional well-being and how parents can safeguard their child's emotional health. Cindy interviews guests specialized in emotional and mental health such as Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Marc Brackett, and Dr. Ramani Durvasula. Cindy also shares how she applies the science of emotion regulation, mindfulness and self-compassion to guide her own parenting journey. Follow Cindy on Instagram @curious_neuron and email her at  [email protected]  (let her know if you leave a rating and review!)Articles, Academy, Research and Speaking Engagements and more  at curiousneuron.com
