Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, Gabrielle Crichlow and returning guest Allison Maynard delve into the importance of developing critical thinking skills in children. Allison, a former school teacher with 17 years of experience, emphasizes the need for parents to actively supplement their children's education by teaching them critical thinking.

The conversation centers around engaging children in conversations and asking open-ended questions to encourage their thinking abilities. Allison also highlights the importance of modeling critical thinking behavior for children. With her master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Gabrielle adds her expertise by using leading questions to prompt children to reflect and expand their thinking.

Both Allison and Gabrielle address systemic issues in the education system that hinder critical thinking development. They offer strategies such as annotation and vocabulary building to enhance comprehension. The discussion also covers the impact of excessive screen time on children's brain development and the importance of engaging with children about their digital activities.

Allison and Gabrielle stress the significance of slowing down and engaging children in meaningful conversations to enhance their critical thinking abilities. They also explore the role of critical thinking in the age of artificial intelligence and the evolving employment landscape.

Consistency and starting the process of developing critical thinking skills early on are key themes throughout the episode. The episode aims to provide insights and support for parents and students in developing these essential skills. Listeners can expect a well-rounded discussion on nurturing critical thinking in children, thanks to Allison's teaching experience and Gabrielle's expertise in mental health counseling.

Who is Allison Maynard?
Allison Maynard is a former school teacher who has spent 17 years in the classroom. After watching the system fail countless students, parents, and teachers (including herself!), she resigned, knowing there had to be a better way. As a result, she has developed the SchoolSmart method, a simple program designed to teach parents how to help their kids get better grades in school. She also works one-on-one with students to ensure they have the foundational skills necessary for learning.
