Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
-Margaret Mead
I love this quote, don’t you? It reminds me of the old tale about how you can lead a horse to water but you can’t teach it to drink. Today I’m sharing a short roundup of some of my favorite TinkerLab posts that talk about how we can encourage children to think for themselves, follow their own interests, and explore the ideas that inspire their curiosities.

This quote is so perfect! I love that it elevates critical thinking over external regulation. It seems to be very near the core of your project at Tinkerlab. I also want to thank you for providing the sketchbook challenge topics. Not only does this really jump start my own creativity, but I give my kids the day’s prompt as the head to school in the morning (they are in kindergarten), and by the time they come home to snacks and sketchbooks they are brimming with ideas and observations! All the best, Mandy

Hi Rachelle,
Absolutely loved this post! This quote is very nice. Children have a great capacity to learn. If we care for our children at an early age, we provide them a great opportunity and ensure a good future for them. Then we don’t need to worry about telling them what to do: they will be able to think and take their own decisions.
