CTD Pathfinders Webinar | Engaging Conversations

Using Books, Games, and Thoughtful Questions to Stimulate Critical and Creative Thinking

Asking higher-level questions is necessary for the development of critical and creative thinking. The good news is that children love inquiry! As a parent, though, you may need more examples of what constitutes "higher-level" questioning or how to incorporate it into fun, family centered activities. Join us for a discussion about how to stimulate thinking using books, games, and other at-home activities you can do with your child. This session is best for parents of children in preschool through late elementary school (grade 5/6). 

Presenters: Susan Corwith and Rhoda Rosen, CTD Associate Directors
