Kids are very much Philosophical than we (often) think they are. I am convinced of this ever after I taught kids who range from 3rd to 7th standards (grades) for an year. Often the mechanical and teacher centered (rather than student centred) educational system kills the Philosphical spiriti of kids. HERE is a small peice of writing by a third standard (3rd grade) student in the KIDS PHILOSOPHY SLAM conducted in USA.
I have the most philosophical conversations with my kids. They are amazing, totally unconstrained by what they should think. Love the article.
Hi Abby,
I am glad you liked it.

I once had a children’s book that was written in French called “Le Mythe de la Caverne”…it was for very young kids. I wish I could find that book so I could show it to you! It had these lovely illustrations and a bit of mystery, like Sophie’s World. I’ve never seen anything like that here in the States. But the French on the whole care about philosophy a lot more.
That sounds good.
