Abstract: The article discusses the significance of developing thinking skills on young children in the U.S. It states that the development of critical thinking skills begins early for the idea that young children can become thoughtful problem solvers if they are encouraged to plan and reflect on their actions. It suggests that teachers must be intentional in their practices and diligent about evaluating their effectiveness to promote thinking in children. There are several strategies that could help teachers such as provide opportunities to plan and reflect, wonder together with children, encourage children to elaborate on their ideas, ask children to solve problems and use encouragement not praise.
