There is a line in the movie "The Godfather" that "a person who spends half a second to see through the essence of things, and a person who spends a lifetime unable to see the essence of things, are doomed to a completely different fate." ”
Children with poor logical thinking and strong logical thinking are destined to have a gap!
There are many children, the ability to use knowledge, the ability to integrate and penetrate is very poor, often the more knowledge learned, the more confused they are.
In the study of science, the huge knowledge system in their eyes, is a mess, how to make it unclear, the more difficult to learn;
In the liberal arts study, they are confused in their thinking, often do not match the preface and the afterword in expression, and their ability to understand and express is always almost meaningless.
Such a child is a typical poor logical thinking ability!
Logical thinking ability includes observation and analysis, inductive summary, reasoning and judgment, solution and processing and other thinking skills. Not only in learning, but also in life schedules, to work project planning, everywhere tests a person's logical thinking ability.
Educator Montessori pointed out that 3-8 years old is the golden period for the development of children's logical thinking ability, and parents must not miss it and train their children in logical thinking in time.
In addition to logical thinking game training, in fact, we can also choose some excellent documentaries that introduce logical thinking, and infiltrate into the child's thinking cultivation in an interesting way.

The Joy of Logic
Average review score: 8.7
What exactly is logical thinking? If you explain it carefully, let alone children, the boring content even adults can't listen to it. And the best thing about this documentary is that it tells logic through playful stories.
There's a question like this, see if you find the answer: Three logicians walk into a tavern. The bartender asked, "Do you all want beer?" ”
The first person replied, "I don't know."
The second person replied, "I don't know."
And the third replied decisively: "Yes, we all want beer." ”
Why?
This is a typical logical problem!
First of all, the question is "all", if there is a person who does not want, then the answer is not "all", right?
Secondly, the first person wants, but he does not know what the other two people think, so he answers "I don't know"; the second person knows what the first person wants, he wants, but he does not know whether the third person wants it or not, so he also answers "I don't know"; the last person understands the answer of the first two people, because he also wants beer, so his answer is "Yes, we all want beer." ”
Isn't that interesting?
This documentary introduces a large amount of logical knowledge such as syllogism, paradox, uncertainty, incompleteness, etc., takes children to understand logical thinking, masters how to use logical thinking to think, and helps children to actually apply this knowledge.
Not only for children, but also for parents!

Brain Challenge
Average review score: 9.1
Does what we see must be "real"?
Does what we hear must be "virtual"?
This documentary tells children that our brains can also be "deceived"!
In full view of everyone, the magician actually turned the bottle out of sight! Does he really have magic?
It turns out that our brains have been deceived by optical illusions and judged that the bottle is in the magician's hand, and that the bottle is actually half a meter behind him.
Is there any way we can quickly remember a stranger's name?
Why do we feel warm when we see red and calm when we see green?
This documentary not only takes children to understand how the brain creates the illusion of reality, but also takes children to understand how the brain works and learn how to shape our brains.
Teacher Li Meijin once pointed out that "it is better to make up for knowledge than to make up for thinking, and it is better to learn knowledge than to learn skillfully", that is to say, the real difference between children is not how much knowledge is learned, but the gap in thinking mode.
These documentaries that establish logical thinking suggest that parents take their children to look at it!
