Passage One
Lateral thinking 迂回思维 first described by Edward de Bone in 1967; is just a few years older than Edward’s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker; but the de Bone was so famous; ‘Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would sa y something bright at school; his teachers might snap; “Where do you get that idea from”
“We had to be careful and not overdo it;” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford―which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic 诵读困难. In fact; when he was applying to Oxford;
none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. “So then we did several thinking sessions;” his father says; “using my techniques and; when he went up for the exam; he did extremely well.” Soon after; Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book; “Teach Your Child How to Think;” in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence; and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical. So isn’t it an uphill battle; trying to teach them to think “You know;” Edward de Bone says; if you examine people’s thinking; it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But th
e faults of perception are huge often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.”
“Teach Your Child How to Think” offers lessons in perception improvement; of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.
