You know what's hard? Teaching your child HOW to think. But do you know what's even HARDER? Not being prepared yourself to step into a world full of false ideas with no training and experiencing the consequences.
You'll learn the answers to the questions below and MUCH MORE in our 11-LESSON COURSE for adults!
-
Adults and the media frequently present LIES to look like FACTS. Can your child spot the difference?
-
If something sounds like it might be true, can your child put it through the "fallacy test"?
-
Can your child explain the difference between their BRAIN and their MIND?
-
Does your child understand how something as simple as logic can help keep them safe?
-
Does your child know what REALLY makes someone the smartest person in the room?
