Critical thinking for your children

-

Parents need to spend more quality time with their children, teaching them those skills that they get by just growing up. Critical thinking means helping children make connections with the real world. It s about helping your child evaluate informatiom that is presented to them from a different point of view. 

How can you do that? A simple strategy would be to ask for clarity and precision. This simple strategy will force your child to think more profound, to re-think what he/she wants to say and to find a better way to express himself/herself. Ask questions like, "What other ideas could we try?" or encourage your child to generate options by saying, "Let’s think of all the possible solutions."

Let me give you some examples of strategic sentences. When your child says ”You never play with me!”You might say ”Never, ever!?” or ”Everybody has one” You might say ”Who exactly?”. Another way would be to help him/her form hypotheses. Try asking your child, "If we do this, what do you think will happen?" or "Let's predict what we think will happen next." Respect his responses whether you view them as correct or not. You could say, "That is interesting. Tell me why you think that." Use phrases like "I am interested to hear your thinking about this."  "How would you solve this problem?"  "Where do you think we might find more information to solve this problem?"

Stim ca noi oamenii sintem creati inca de la Facere pe o linie de urmasi deoarece sintem fiinte muritoare obisnuite,si trebuie sa intelegem ca daca sintem muritori atunci avem creata Karma prin care revenim in trup in ciclurile vietii apartinand reincarnarilor facind parte din Lantului Spiralei Evolutiei.Prin analizele si studiile facute de mai marii lumii stiinta Astrologiei opereaza in analizele si interpretarile sale bazindu-se pe combinatii ale unor elemente precise,specifice temei de nastere.In Astrologie vem 34 de variabile ca elemente de baza:10 planete,12 zodii,si 12 case.Din combinatia lor  rezulta toate variantele capacitatilor personale omenesti. In legatura cu Astrologia Karmica ar trebui sa se stie ca este Astrologia cea mai importanta decit toate,fiind denumita si Astrologia tristetii si durerii sufletesti care ne atentioneaza drastic si usturator  daca am comis greseli,care ne arata cum  sa reparam acele greseli pe care le comitem sau le-am comis,ajutind

How can a person's self-presentation communicate both independence and desire for acceptance at the same time?

-
People form impressions of us whenever we are in public, but we are not always actively monitoring or regulating those impressions. In many situations, our self-presentations are automatic and habitual, and we are devoting little conscious attention to how we are being perceived by others. In other situations we become acutely aware of the impressions. Being ignored or shunned by others can increase self-presentational concerns. Sometimes this makes you motivate yourself in making positive impressions to those around you. People are more attentive when they are interacting with casual acquaintances and business associates than when interacting with close friends, family members and loved ones.   The person that would like to project an impression of an independent one needs to possess an awareness, a cognitive ability called social acuity. People must be able to anticipate how their symbolic gestures will be interpreted by others. To create the desired impressions o
