TEACH YOUR CHILD HOW TO THINK - Penguin

Nothing is more important. In today's complex world the most important thing you can do for your child is to teach her or him how to think. This is not difficult to do. Do not wait for school to do it. Where is 'thinking' in the curriculum? The author, Edward de Bono, the leading pioneer in the direct teaching of thinking, and with over twenty-five years experience at all levels (from eight-year olds to senior executives) shows in a simple and practical way how a parent can develop the thinking skills of his or her children so as to give them a better chance in life. Many highly intelligent people are articulate but poor thinkers. Argument and critical thinking are not enough. Today's world demands clear and constructive thinking ; the ability to make decisions and choices; to design and plan initiatives; and be creative. Even a single thinking habit or tool taken from this comprehensive book may strongly affect the future of your child.
