Why philosophy for primary-
age children?
How do we prepare the next generation for the 21st century? In my opinion, it's introducing high-level thinking at an early age. Leading philosophy sessions for children as young as five, I've seen how it helps a class to think creatively and openly, to be courageous in thought and expression and to enable wise personal choices and decision making; skills which are the foundations of active citizenship.
