How often will new lessons be released?
New Thinking Day lessons are added every week, giving your teen a growing library of thought-provoking topics, debates, and critical thinking activities to explore throughout the year.
Can I cancel at any time?
Absolutely.
There are no contracts or lock-in periods. You can cancel your membership whenever you like.
What happens if I cancel?
You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period. After that, access to the membership library will end unless you choose to rejoin.
Do we have to complete a lesson every week?
Not at all.
Many families complete a lesson every week, while others dip into the library whenever they need a meaningful learning activity, discussion topic, or screen-free educational experience.
The membership is designed to fit around your family, not the other way around.
My teen isn't a strong writer. Will this still work?
Yes.
Thinking Day is built around ideas, discussion, and critical thinking rather than formal essay writing.
Many activities can be completed through conversation, reflection, short responses, or verbal discussion.
My teen is neurodivergent. Is this suitable?
Many neurodivergent learners thrive with Thinking Day because the lessons are discussion-rich, low-pressure, and focused on exploring ideas rather than finding the "right" answer.
Teens are encouraged to think in their own way and engage with topics at a pace that suits them.
Do I need to teach the lessons myself?
Not necessarily.
Many teenagers work through large parts of the lessons independently. Parents can be as involved as they like, whether that's facilitating discussions or simply providing the lesson and letting their teen explore it independently.
Is this only for homeschool families?
No.
While many homeschool families enjoy Thinking Day, the lessons are also popular with parents looking for meaningful screen-free activities, enrichment opportunities, or ways to encourage deeper thinking and conversation at home.
Will my teen receive certificates, grades, or assessments?
No.
Thinking Day focuses on curiosity, critical thinking, and discussion rather than formal assessment.
The goal is to help teenagers become confident thinkers, not to create more schoolwork.
Why a membership instead of individual lessons?
Because critical thinking develops over time.
One great discussion can spark curiosity.
A year of meaningful questions can help shape how a teenager thinks, communicates, and engages with the world.
