Raising Critical Thinkers

Raising Critical Thinkers by Julie Bogart

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.

Julie Bogart is the originator of the Brave Writer program, which teaches writing and language arts to thousands of families each year. She homeschooled her five now-adult children for seventeen years and is the founder of Brave Learner Home, a company that provides coaching and instruction to homeschooling parents. She has also taught theology at Xavier University as an adjunct professor. The Brave Learner is Bogart's first book.
