Philosophizing and meditating with children

Presentation

This book tells the extraordinary story of the adventure I experienced with hundreds of children across the French-speaking world, from Paris to Montreal, via Molenbeek, Abidjan, Pézenas, Geneva, Mouans-Sartoux, Corsica, and Guadeloupe. Why, indeed, wait until the final year of high school to address the questioning of existential themes: love, respect, happiness, the meaning of life, emotions, etc.? The philosophical workshops I lead demonstrate children's astonishing capacity for thought. Beyond concepts, they learn the rules of debating ideas and develop their discernment and personal reflection.

Because children often have difficulty concentrating, I precede the workshops with a short meditation, or practice of attention, which allows everyone to regain their sensory receptivity and be present in the moment.

For all those who, parents, teachers, educators, wish to accompany children in this practice of attention and philosophical workshops, this work offers a method and concrete tools, including a CD of guided meditations. FL
