W: You’re busy running the Families and Work Institute. (23) Why did you decide to write this book, which required years of research into the science of early learning?
M: I heard employers complain that skills needed for this century are not being promoted in new entrants to the workplace and I began to see that these skills actually emerge in childhood, but we don’t do anything to nurture them.
W: (24)Among the seven essential skills you named, you say communicating is most important, and that’s the one, employers think, is most lacking. Why is that?
M: Many people thought this generation of kids did nothing but communicate.
W: That’s exactly what I thought.
M: Well, simply putting out what you think or feel is one thing, but understanding how you’re going to be understood is not easy. Texting is different from communicating to a business audience.
W: Critical thinking is a key skill for navigating the world successfully, according to your research. How can we teach that?
M: You use everyday moments to teach that as a parent. We have to teach children to ask themselves, "How do you know if you can trust that thing on the Internet? Is it true? Does the person saying that have a vested (既定的) interest?" You keep doing it all the time until your children have that voice in their head.
W：There are so many advice books out there for parents. Why should they open yours? M： As a parent, the automatic response to any book is, "they are going to tell me what I did wrong." (25) I wanted this book to be inspiring, rather than a guilt trip. And I hope it is.
