Can philosophy be taught to children?

As a teacher, I have been highly influenced by various philosophies that

slowly developed throughout the years. These changes still continue to sprout other
thoughts which slowly but surely developed the core values that I believe up to this
date. Quite literally, the term "philosophy" means, "love of wisdom." In a broad
sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand
fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their
relationships to the world and to each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is
much the same. Those who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking,
answering, and arguing for their answers to life’s most basic questions. To make
such a pursuit more systematic academic philosophy is traditionally divided into
major areas of study.

Adults, regardless of their profession or their social status in life, might be able
to somehow comprehend what Philosophy means. Because one thing is for certain:
there is no one concrete to define Philosophy and we are subconsciously applying
philosophy in our lives. But the big question comes in: Can Philosophy be taught to
Children? Teaching children philosophy helps them harness their curiosity and
develop useful skills. Research shows they get better at reasoning, communicating,
and managing emotions. Teachers can introduce philosophical ideas through
storytelling, debates, and 'safe spaces. Studies have demonstrated that children who
study philosophy are more likely to achieve better academic results. They also enjoy
additional social benefits such as better self-esteem and the demonstration of
empathy for others. Not only do these kids become better at school and academics,
but they will also cultivate their social skills, relatively.
