With so much information flowing every day, it can be difficult to decide what is true. That's why people who can give an answer right away may seem to be strong. There are many chances to run into information outside school too, especially while doing research, preparing presentations, or watching videos and social media.
What matters most is not only what you believe, but how you check it.
It is difficult to shake if there is a way to check
For example, see who wrote it, when it was written, and if others have said the same thing. This alone will make the decision much easier.
It is important to look at whether there is reason or evidence for an opinion, rather than whether or not it is an opinion you like. This will make it difficult to move based on your mood.
It is important to put things on hold without understanding
Sometimes you don't have to go black and white right away. If you're still not sure, it's a good decision to put it on hold.
A child who has the ability to confirm things will not make decisions by force. Children who can wait calmly when they don't understand something are less likely to make big mistakes later.
When you see information that interests you, check the "who, when, and why" one by one.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we don't rush to get the answer, we value the path to confirmation. Rather than the ability to believe, let's develop the ability to confirm.
