About this Presentation
We teach TOC thinking processes (TP) to very small children and their parents and teachers at same time. Many adults think that teaching smartness can start only when children can write and read. Also many adults think that children have to be taught by parents or teachers to acquire some wisdom. Having in mind the latest discoveries in the human brain and human ability to learn, we created a package for children in age 5-9 to teach them TOC tools that develop children’s natural abilities that lead to smart thinking and wise decisions-- beginning in the kindergarten.
