Description
With critical thinking comes discernment. With discernment comes good choices. And what parent doesn’t want their children to make good choices? How do you get there? This resource is for parents, not kids directly. Many of the activities & questions are common sense, but presented in a way that helps you teach critical thinking in a deliberate way. The author shows you how she has taught the lessons in her family’s situation, which makes the rather abstract concept more real. Regardless of your feelings about social media, guiding your kids through the world today is a challenge with unseen consequences. 323 pgs, pb. ~Sara

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?
