The book presents a concept of education that sees it not only as a matter of acquiring information in various academic fields, but also as a matter of understanding why and how we believe what we do. At a time when online media has created a constant flow of information and opinions, educators are concerned about the question, "How will young people react to what they read and watch?" Amid this noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different viewpoints with curiosity and insight. But how will parents train their children in these skills? Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in homeschooling and curriculum development, author Julie Bogart offers, through numerous stories, activities, and experiments, practical tools to help children develop their abilities, explore the world around them, examine how their loyalties and biases influence their ideas, and then form an authentic vision rather than simply regurgitating what they have learned. This book represents a valuable resource for parents and teachers concerned with nurturing young minds with sensitive hearts.
