About This Quote
Teach the child how to think and not what to think by equipping him with the armor of Discernment and the sword of Knowledge. In this quotation, the author discusses a dialectic process in which a parent is required to understand a child’s mind and give it tools that will help it continue growing. Discernment is a method of thinking that helps a student or parent who is trying to make sense of a situation. In this dialectic process, the learner must first be able to form an accurate understanding of the issue at hand through careful consideration of all aspects.
With this understanding, they can then choose from a number of options. This choice then helps them determine an appropriate course of action that will lead them towards their goal. Educating children with proper tools allows them to use these skills as they grow older and become more independent thinkers.
