Very interesting. I wonder who taught me critical thinking? I really doubt it was my parents. ;-)

  I’ve been doing a lot of reading on health and healthiness, and mental health keeps cropping up in my reading. Doing math problems or solving critical thinking puzzles daily help boost your mind’s performance. Something I read recommended carrying a crossword puzzle around with you wherever you go and I thought of my mom — who is no longer challenged by “normal” crossword puzzles and now does New York Times crosswords from the 1920′s! LOL
  
  We’re constantly feeding critical thinking questions to Kaylee and she craves them. It’s getting hard to keep up with her demand for more complex problems.
