Parenting & Education
In the October issue we discuss unlocking your child's potential for sharper thinking skills begins with the simple act of meaningful conversation, turning everyday chats into powerful tools for growth. Talking with your child about their ideas helps them learn to think for themselves, encouraging them to articulate thoughts, question assumptions, and explore possibilities in a safe space.
