Presentation
This book tells the extraordinary adventure that 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, in fact, wait until the final year to tackle the questioning of existential themes: love, respect, happiness, the meaning of life, emotions, etc.? ? The philosophical workshops that I lead show children's astonishing ability to think. 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 attention practice, which allows everyone to regain their sensory receptivity and to be present in the moment.
For all those who, parents, teachers, educators, wish to support children in this practice of attention and philosophical workshops, this work offers a method and concrete tools, including a CD of guided meditations. FL
