Raising Thinkers: How Family Reading Builds Problem-Solving Skills in Children
infoI believe that science-based learning begins at home—with curiosity, creativity, and connection. One of the most powerful ways to nurture young minds is through family reading, not just as a literacy tool, but as a gateway to developing problem-solving skills.
When families read together, they create space for imagination, discussion, and reflection. These shared moments can be transformed into opportunities for children to learn how to think critically, ask questions, and solve problems—just like scientists do. -

Let’s spend high quality time with our kids
infoOur kids are surrounded with popular culture, reality show celebrities are attacking from any possible source; social networks are becoming the mainstream source of communication and even professional sport is promoting wrong values more often.
And what about the information? Billions of information are one-click-away but are those information are proper ones? Do they know how to interpret information? It seems to me that we are growing next generation by letting them to believe that all they found on internet is knowledge per se.
And we see the results. Our kids are believe in instant knowledge, their idols are all people who has money (no matter what they are doing), they communicate in virtual world and very often they doesn’t understand why is important to say ‘hello’ when you meet somebody you know.
