Really, every day should be Earth Day (we do live on and depend on it, right?). We’re always excited about asking big questions and taking a closer look at our relationship with our lovely blue planet and its inhabitants.

There are a lot of grey areas in the information we receive these days, and kids need to learn to think about them critically.

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.

It's critical thinking.

It’s really never too early to think critically about what makes someone “other”, and about how to bridge the distance.

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.”
