Podcast Episode 277: How to Prepare Kids for Being Exposed to Viewpoints You Don’t Agree With

Mar 18, 2017 | In The Loop

In the Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question regarding giving advice to his college-aged son.

 

Children are in a lot of danger because of this.

  • There’s a big difference between teaching how to think and what to think.
  • The danger starts in elementary school.

  • You can teach them how to think.
  • It’s important to know what they think now and how they came to that conclusion.

 

Tune in to hear about a conversation Andy had with his son’s principal.
