How to Raise an Uncritical Thinker
39Most parents want to help their children develop critical thinking skills in order to understand truth and avoid being deceived. Yet this desire doesn’t help someone learn how to actually make it happen. How can parents—how can you—actually raise a critical thinker?
Sometimes the best way to learn a truth is to explore its antithesis. Just as darkness helps us better comprehend light, perhaps we can better understand how to raise critical thinkers by considering how we might do the opposite. In this Backwards Blueprint, you will learn ten ways to ensure your child doesn’t question anything.

Mind Wars: Avoiding Deception in an Age of Manipulation
17We wouldn’t dream of sending a soldier into battle without essential gear: body armor, a weapon, and knowledge of the enemy’s motives, strategies, and weaknesses. Yet, many parents today unknowingly send their children into the psychological battlefields of daily life—where they face a barrage of deceptions from academia, social media, politicians, peers, and beyond—without equipping them with the necessary defenses to survive and excel.
Worse still, while their children frequently become casualties in today’s mind wars, these parents remain oblivious to the very existence of these conflicts. For the parent eager to uphold truth in a world rife with deceptions, Mind Wars acts as both a cautionary guide and a strategic manual. It reveals the covert tactics wielded by those in power to manipulate public opinion and outlines methods for developing enhanced critical thinking skills to resist these insidious influences.
This book is more than a mere story—it’s an insightful journey into the depths of the mind, challenging you to see and fight the invisible forces shaping our reality.

Passion-Driven Education: How to Use Your Child’s Interests to Ignite a Lifelong Love of Learning
20Why You Need This Book
Do you need parenting advice on how to inspire your child to love learning? Whether you homeschool or send your kids to public or private school, this is essential reading for your situation.
Why? Because schooling has become a disaster. Your child’s interests and uniqueness are disregarded, and structured curriculum and standards like Common Core place them on a conveyor belt that treats all children the same. This system crushes a child’s curiosity. Your child deserves better!
There is a better way: one that ensures your child sees learning as a joy and provides you, the parent, with a much less stressful way to educate and empower your son or daughter. In this book, Connor Boyack shares the exciting philosophy and empowering day-to-day steps involved in passion-driven education.
A child’s curiosity and natural desire to learn are like a tiny flame, easily extinguished unless it’s protected and given fuel. This book will help you as a parent both protect that flame of curiosity and supply it with the fuel necessary to make it burn bright throughout your child’s life. Let’s ignite our children’s natural love of learning!
