How Parent Turn Closed-Minded Kids into Open-Minded Children
Closed-minded children, like adults, only want things their way. They won’t consider opposing evidence. They won’t admit when they're wrong. How do parents open kids' minds to other points of view?
Today’s brand new video shows you how to raise open-minded thinkers. You’ll find out exactly what parents can do.
For example, discuss topics kids can relate to, like:
- Homework
- Bedtime
- Lying
- Bullying
- Texting
Make questions out of the topics and ask children to give two sides. The side they agree with and the side they oppose. They must give good reasons for each side. Finally, they must decide which side is best. They are free to compromise by blending the best ideas from each side.
One huge goal is to help children understand why people think differently. Could appreciating opposing views be one way to learn cooperation, collaboration, and preserve freedom of expression? You be the judge.
