Should you try something new even if you're afraid?
-Should you do something dangerous if all your friends are doing it?
- Should you give up on sport if you're not getting better?
This fun children's book gives six real-life moral dilemmas that children might face and asks the readers to consider the pros and cons for possible resolutions. It gives readers lots to think about but, in the end, asks the child 'What would YOU do?', leaving the ultimate decision to them.
The situations have been tested in classrooms to ensure the examples and resolutions are age-appropriate. There are notes for parents and teachers at the back of each book.
The What Would You Do? series teaches children about values and behaviour, encouraging empathy for others, respect and responsibility while developing their critical thinking and decision-making skills.
The author, Jana Mohr Lone, is Executive Director of Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO), an affiliate faculty in philosophy at the University of Washington. Jana has been leading philosophy sessions with students from preschool to graduate school for over 25 years.
