My Child as a Critical Thinker

Creative, Innovative and Problem Solver

• RED HAT : "The Intuitive Thinker ", focussing on feelings,emotions and instincts.
• YELLOW HAT : "The Optomistic and Postive Thinker", explores the positive best case scenario.
• BLUE HAT :"The Control Processor" , dealing with organising ,planning and excuting the ideas.
• GREEN HAT : "The creative Thinker", expressing ideas, provocation and solutions.
• WHITE HAT: "The Informative Thinker", giving facts and data,being neutral and objective.
• BLACK HAT: "The Caution Thinker", pointing out negatives.difficulties and weaknesses.
