Children are required to reason and explain their thinking.

They respect the thinking of others. It can lead to increased self-esteem
and confidence.

Philosophy improves THINKING SKILLS
It is VITAL that our education system teaches children how to think.
How to think well will greatly affect a person’s life chances.
We must give children TIME to think and we must CHALLENGE them to think.

Ways to encourage thinking skills:
Through effective questioning. Using non-verbal signals. Find an approach which encourages
children to think for themselves. Build confidence and trust. Through dialogue.
Task: Connections
