Why participate in Raising a Thinking Child?

This evidence-based workshop series will help you guide children to solve common, everyday problems with decision making, communication skills, and emotional intelligence. The focus of the class assignments will be on how to assist children to think things through. It is a refreshingly practical curriculum that helps you help your children learn HOW to think, not what to think. Watch children grow as they learn to avoid or resolve everyday problems.

To give their children the skills to solve their own problems.

Fun games to help children learn these problem-solving skills and consider consequences.

How to help kids care about and understand their feelings and the feelings of others.
