How to nurture critical thinking with our children

Why Lindsey felt the need to write “Raising Citizen”
“Parenting is trying to do a little bit better than our parents did for us.”
“Politics is going to happen to us whether we like it or not so it's better if we understand the process.”
“Everyone has a different version of what the good life is and how to get there.”
“Our kids don't need us to be politics or government experts, they need us to model the behavior of learning more.”
“When we're raising a citizen, we're not necessarily trying to raise a partisan.”
“Let's make sure our kids are equipped and capable of getting through the world in a better way than we are.”
