Abstract
As we know, teaching children is passing on the cultural knowledge. But does that mean that grownups can think along with a child? Or ask yourself a broader question – how can one teach a child to think? The article explains the basics of philosophizing with the preschool children, major methods and techniques of such practice. The author guides through the logic of philosophizing and points out various pitfalls that await grownups on this path. Special attention is drawn to cognitive actions that children master during philosophizing.
