How to Give Your Kids Feedback When They're Using Their Critical Thinking Skills

​Critical thinking skills are essential for success in school and in life. As parents, it is vital to give our children feedback when using these skills, which will help motivate them to continue using critical thinking and help guide their reflection in the future. In this blog post, we will discuss how to give your kids feedback when they are using their critical thinking skills.

When you give your child feedback, it is essential to focus on the process, not the outcome. For example, if your child comes up with a wrong answer, don't just tell them that they are wrong. Instead, ask them how they arrived at that answer and help them understand why it was incorrect, helping them learn from their mistakes and improve their critical thinking skills.

Modeling good critical thinking through your feedback is another way to help your children develop these skills. Show them how to ask questions, analyze evidence, and make logical arguments. This will give them an excellent example to follow and help them learn how to think critically on their own.

Finally, feedback can motivate children to use their critical thinking skills. When they see that you are interested in their thinking and value their critical thinking skills, they will be more likely to use them in the future. So make sure to give your child plenty of feedback when using their critical thinking skills!
