I recently came across this program.  Has anyone one enrolled their child into this course??  What do you think about it??

You can borrow the book from library first. I have read this book ten years ago. It is so simple to read. The most important thing is you have to aware your emotional change. There should be nothing special.

Dear DBBoy,

The Six thinking hats method ( also called 'lateral thinking') would be a bit too much for your kid. I know my friend's boy at F.1 has learnt about this method in Social Education subject. He also has problems to differentiate the functions and applications of various thinking hats.

The 6 colors of hats represent different thinking moods and state of mind : white, black , yellow, red, blue and green . Unless your kid can self-aware of various emotional states and thinking moods , otherwise it can not be of good value.

I myself has been trained in management training workshop about this and other problem-solving thinking methods , and find it quite useful ( esp. to understand why different peoples think differently).
