How to Raise Kids Who Think for Themselves | Barbara Mojica

How do we teach our kids to tell the difference between fact and opinion in a world overflowing with information? In this episode, Anthony Craiker sits down with Barbara Mojica—educator, historian, and author of the Little Miss History series—to explore how parents can help children become curious learners and confident critical thinkers. Together they talk about the importance of family history, the role grandparents can play in shaping children’s understanding of the past, and practical ways families can use everyday moments—at the dinner table, at the store, even in the car—to spark meaningful conversations. Whether you’re raising young kids or guiding teens, this episode will inspire parents to model respect, honesty, and curiosity while helping their children develop the skills they need to thrive in today’s complex world.
