There is one vital skill that we should be helping our kids to cultivate, one that can help all kinds of learners to bridge the gap in education.

Kids have a unique perspective on freedom, and chatting with them about it presents great opportunities for critical thinking.

In an era like ours, thinking skills are invaluable. To quote a Malay proverb “A tree with strong roots laughs at storms.”
