Raising Thinkers by Tremaine Du Preez
Raising thinkers into 2020 and beyond. Raising Thinkers introduces tools and techniques to enhance critical and creative thinking, decision making and emotional, social and fluid intelligence in a growing thinker.
Reading Raising Thinkers created a true joy and literary treat for my mind and soulThis book is so well written! I felt like I was having a coffee with Tremaine, and she was sharing passionately how to nurture thinking agility in children, using all the insights and tools she has learnt in coaching, neuroscience and critical thinking. Tremaine has the gift of creating intimacy and the sprinkles of humour are such gems. I love the simplicity of the book, the depth of research and vast array of interesting facts. I love how masterfully she built the case that critical thinking, collaboration and emotional intelligence are and will be the most sought after skills in the future workforce. Yet these skills are lagging behind and not taught at school. I found the coaching tips for kids SO POWERFUL, straightforward and applicable straight away. This is a great handbook for anybody who interacts with children and young adults, not just their parents. I have already had empowering conversations with my 6 and 10 year old nephews using the coaching questions Tremaine offers in the book. My nephews better understand how other people's opinions are not facts, and what other children think is not really their problem or responsibility. This is such valuable mindset for any human being! Thank you for writing this fantastic book and making a difference in the world, Tremaine! - Maria Kassova, Performance coach and facilitator, MK Motivation
