Philosophy for children is one of the Key Issues series. Key Issues are
written by experts and based on extensive knowledge supported by the
latest research, and address some of the major challenges facing Early
Years settings and Primary Schools. The aim is to provide sound, clear
advice which will help practitioners and teachers deliver the
objectives of Every Child Matters. Philosophy for children focuses on
the importance of encouraging children to think, reason and express
their thoughts in language. These skills are not only at the heart of
the EYFS but are essential to all successful learning.
