Just wait until they turn 14. Then you can deal with tricky philosophical questions like, “Hey, where’s the remote?”

To testify of my own experience in animation of philosophy’s workshop with children, I can testify of the presence, non only of transcendantal concepts in their minds, but even of significance traces of major conceptual changes wich have occurred in the history of philosophy, for exemple of the ambiguity of the truth’s meaning , somestimes understood from the speech, sometimes from being itself.
Go on to write about the relationship of philosophy to childhood, and childhood to philosophy. It’s exciting and lovely, as your previoust post was.
