It also helps them make better decisions by considering all possible outcomes before taking action. Additionally, it allows people to develop their unique perspective on various topics, which can lead to creative solutions for difficult problems. Critical thinking skills are an important part of a child's development. They help them to think flexibly, to analyze situations, and to make informed decisions. Here are some reasons why critical thinking is important for children. First, it helps children to learn how to make sense of the world around them

You want to give them experiences that make them critically think. I had a very funny experience in 2017. I was teaching media literacy after the election when there was a lot of misinformation, and I did a poll in Los Angeles and asked people on the street at Hollywood, at vine, which is a very touristy area, people from all over the world. I probably didn't speak to one person from La
And this was seven year old kid talking into a Grandmaster. Amazing. And yes, critical thinking is important part of our life. It has to be learn, it has to be inculcated and introduced earlier in our children. Thank you for sharing
You. Well spoken there. You know, I'm a chess player too, and I regularly play chess, and I really, really enjoy it. It gives me a lot of freedom of time and I get lost in that moment, totally oblivious of my surroundings, which can be good and bad at the same time because it is the love of the game. And again, analyzing the positions, the moves, and of course, as you said, naming the moves as we jot down the games

Thank you, Deb. I appreciate your comments. You know, it's funny because when I was younger, I was always considered even though I was an athlete in school, I was always considered a geek, kind of an oddity, because I love to read and to learn about everything from thought process to how things work. And using the Swell format here, it's fun because I can explore so many different things and share so many different things and find the people who enjoy them as well
