In this episode 5 of series 3 Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education, we dive into one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of early childhood education—teaching children to think.
Our Edx Education hosts explore how critical and creative thinking are essential skills that lay the foundation for future success. Too often, traditional education systems focus solely on convergent thinking, which is about finding the one right answer. However, this episode highlights the importance of also fostering divergent and lateral thinking, skills that encourage children to explore multiple solutions, think outside the box, and approach problems from new perspectives.
We’ll be unpacking three key types of thinking: convergent, divergent, and lateral, and why it's crucial to strike a balance between them. But this isn't just theory—our hosts offer five practical strategies that parents, caregivers, and educators can use to help children become confident thinkers. From giving them choices and encouraging exploration to fostering experimentation and embracing diverse experiences, this episode is packed with actionable tips. Tune in to discover how to empower the next generation to think for themselves and unlock their natural creativity!
