Abstract :
Philosophy for children can help the thinking process of young people. Our proposal does not consider philosophy, as most people understand it, as an empty body of preconceived ideas: we approach philosophy of action. This is not the exclusive property of those who call themselves 'philosophers', but of human nature. Considering the importance of education for children in contemporary philosophy, this research examines the challenges and solutions related to philosophy and philosophy education for children. According to the above goal, 10 challenges were identified as the most important of these challenges: the concept of philosophy as a discipline, the lack of trained and skilled educators to teach philosophy to children, the gap between existing social values and norms. The ambiguous role of the teacher in this type of education, the rapid use of philosophy for the education of children, the family's ignorance of the philosophy of education for children, the lack of cognitive development of children to understand abstract concepts from the philosophy of education programs for children.
