Another idea for instilling independent thinking in kids is to troll them: https://imgur.com/a/GLDrD https://imgur.com/a/GLDrD In the comics Calvin doesn't catch on, but in my experience if you keep making the tale taller and taller, kids will start to figure out what's going on and be more alert in the future.
- gregwebs 6y agoI agree, it is one of the great joys of parenting :) I think it helps a lot with imagination, curiosity, and "fastidiousness about truth" since they need to keep evaluating whether what you tell them is true. A deeper variant of this that I do is focus more on giving them incorrect justifications for things. This helps with evaluating the reasons given for why something is true rather than the idea itself.
