Young children are in need of guidance on many levels, and it is our job to help them to develop the skills they need to make their way in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s natural to take on the role with young children of being a source of information and even wisdom. Accordingly, the role of adult advisor and teacher becomes the dominant paradigm for our exchanges with children.<\/p>\n<p>Philosophy provides an opportunity for a different kind of interaction because these are not the kinds of questions to which the child necessarily expects or wants a definitive answer. In order to respond to children&rsquo;s questions in ways that allow for philosophical conversations, our role must shift.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"image-bg-side\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/plato-philosophy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/pexels-dastan-khdir-5223975.jpg);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"image-bg-side\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/plato-philosophy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/file-20200622-55009-1cys6pw.jpg.webp);\"><\/div><div class=\"text-side right\"><div class=\"sub\">From &#8220;Respository of Wisdom&#8221; to Co-Inquirer<\/div><div class=\"lede\"><p>Philosophical discussions do not require adults to be the &ldquo;repositories of wisdom.&rdquo; In these conversations, adults are not the experts, but rather co-inquirers with children, seeking together to better understand human experience.<\/p>\n<p>This requires that adults listen and respond with open minds. Instead of reacting with an answer or advice, reflect about what the child has said. What is the child asking?<\/p>\n<p>Listen for questions that invite philosophical inquiry (&ldquo;Are numbers real?&rdquo;), and then ask your child what prompted the question. (&ldquo;I was just thinking about numbers-you can&rsquo;t see or touch them, but are they real?&rdquo;) Think about the question yourself. You might respond with something like, &ldquo;Why do you think we have numbers?&rdquo; or &ldquo;What do you think it means for something to be real?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself whether your child is searching for meaning, trying to understand a concept in a deep way, or seeking a practical answer. &ldquo;How do you tell time?&rdquo; is probably not an invitation to discuss the nature of time, but &ldquo;What is time?&rdquo; might be.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"cta-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parentmap.com\/article\/philosophy-and-children-the-art-of-questioning\" target=\"_blank\"><button>View
