6. Question of the Day:
How can we help today’s kids be successful
in our increasingly complex world?
Answer:
Teach them to think.

7. • A key strategy that teachers,
mentors and parents can use to
encourage the development of
core thinking skills is asking open-
ended questions instead of
providing answers. Questioning kids
encourages thinking, expression,
research and interaction.
