RE: We Desperately Need Critical Thinking
Reading a lot. Kids that start out reading at a young age develop a greater understanding of language and can tackle the harder questions earlier than the general populace. Other than this, ask your kids their opinion on something then tell them to argue the other side. Make sure they know that if they can't argue the other side they don't deserve to have an opinion.
This is indeed a good approach as well. Putting yourself in other people's "shoes" so to speak is a good tool.
