Chasing Ideas: The Fun of Freeing Your Child's Imagination

by Christine Durham, Chris Morgan

"Demonstrating how and why children need to be better, brighter thinkers, this guide for parents shows them how to foster curiosity and awareness and improve their children's concentration, listening, problem solving, and decision making skills. The techniques discussed are based on five thinking keys and tools, including sorting, organizing, and grouping ideas; differentiating facts from assumptions; and looking at issues from several points of view. Both parents and teachers are encouraged to see how discussing ideas with children can be an enjoyable and creative activity for everyone."
