Not all adults can boast of having high critical thinking skills.
The point is that a person’s intellectual development needs to be addressed from an early age.
What tricks will help with this?
Don't scold your child for arguing with you.
Basic arguments with parents are the child's first attempts to defend his position with the help of logical argumentation, experts believe.
Therefore, intelligent debate can be very useful.
However, you should outline the rules for conducting such a debate so that it is useful.
Discussion club
Perhaps there is such a club at school or you can find a similar club for your child. Such skills help the child learn the art of discussion.
If there is no such section, try to organize a club at home once a week. Choose interesting topics for discussion, appoint a judge and spend time usefully.
Teach how to check information
Many modern children are faced with the fact that they accept on faith any information they read or hear, without even thinking that it may be false.
Explain to children that information should always be verified.
If a child questions unverified information, he will learn to distinguish truth from fiction.
