My early childhood education work – whether it’s in the form of keynotes, consulting, coaching, books, articles, or radio interviews – is primarily dedicated to the understanding, now confirmed through brain research, that active learning equals authentic learning. We have to teach to the whole child!

What will today’s four-year-olds need for skills when they enter the workforce? We have no idea – because the world is changing so rapidly that we can’t even begin to imagine what it will look like!
But the one thing we can be sure they’ll need is the ability to solve problems – because there’ll always be plenty of those. And, as the world becomes more complex, so too will the problems. Still, our schools, with their emphasis on rote memorization and filling in bubbles isn’t exactly preparing kids for tomorrow’s world. But you can give them a great start by fostering their critical- and creative-thinking skills…and you can do that by using as much divergent problem solving – in as many different areas of the curriculum – as you can.
