Edward de Bono's renowned educational program for developing children's thinking skills has been adopted in countries and schools around the world. "Teach your child to think" makes that program directly available for the first time to anyone who wants to give their children a better chance in life. With example, exercise, games, drawings, de Bono demostrate the difference between intelligence and thinking and provides a step-by-step method for helping children develop the clear and constructive thinking patterns (how to make decisions, take initiatives, and become more creative) that an increasingly comlicated life demands. Even one or two more thinking habits or tools taken from this book can strongly affect a child's whole life.
