Raising Thinkers Summary

Raising Thinkers: Preparing Your Child for the Journey of Life by Tremaine du Preez

Upgrading the future, one decision at a time. Its no secret that we are preparing our dimpled darlings for a journey to a future filled with careers and opportunities that dont yet exist. How are we supposed to prepare our greatest and most precious investment, our children, for these unknowable pursuits of the future? By focusing on the journey, not the final destination, because their journey will create their destination. Raising Thinkers begins with an exploration of the possible futures that our children will inhabit as adults. It examines the skills that they will need most in these settings and what can reasonably be expected from the current school systems across the East and West. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, it covers the mechanics of high level, critical and creative thinking as well as how to coach emotional, social, and fluid intelligence in your growing thinker through a curiosity-based approach. For parents scoping the journey of a lifetime, Raising Thinkers is an invaluable guide to helping your children make the best possible decisions that they can, because todays decisions will create their future.

Raising Thinkers Reviews

Reading Raising Thinkers created a true joy and literary treat for my mind and soul. This book is so well written! I felt like I was having a coffee with Tremaine, and she was sharing passionately how to nurture thinking agility in children, using all the insights and tools she has learnt in coaching, neuroscience and critical thinking. Tremaine has the gift of creating intimacy and the sprinkles of humour are such gems. I love the simplicity of the book, the depth of research and vast array of interesting facts. I love how masterfully she built the case that critical thinking, collaboration and emotional intelligence are and will be the most sought after skills in the future workforce. Yet these skills are lagging behind and not taught at school. I found the coaching tips for kids SO POWERFUL, straightforward and applicable straight away. This is a great handbook for anybody who interacts with children and young adults, not just their parents. I have already had empowering conversations with my 6 and 10 year old nephews using the coaching questions Tremaine offers in the book. My nephews better understand how other people's opinions are not facts, and what other children think is not really their problem or responsibility. This is such valuable mindset for any human being! Thank you for writing this fantastic book and making a difference in the world, Tremaine! - Maria Kassova, Performance coach and facilitator, MK Motivation
