Abstract

One of the primary objectives of the philosophy education program for children is to improve the conditions for teaching thinking in educational systems. The aim of this program is to assist children in learning how to think for themselves. Philosophy for children is an educational activity that leads to the improvement of creative thinking and social relationships in them. Through the teaching of philosophy, students learn how to place themselves in new situations and find new solutions. Additionally, the philosophy education program for children has had a positive impact on the creation of social and emotional relationships for children and has contributed to their progress in desirable moral behavior in society. This article was conducted using a descriptive-library method to examine the necessity of teaching philosophy to children and its role in enhancing the creative thinking and social skills of students.
