Can we go, please!
Many conversations at home are about a beginning: What time do we go to grandpa? Am I excused? I want to celebrate my birthday next weekend. What happened to my new socks?
Have a conversation at home with 'beginnings'.

WITTGENSTEIN AND THE LION
Try this! Philosophers love what they call ‘thought experiments’. They imagine some unlikely situation and then explore how it would be to be in such a situation. This one is about a (very famous) philosopher sitting together with a (very pensive) lion for a chat, without any fear of being mauled.

Philosophy Comes Home...
Pieter Mostert gives us some ways to do philosophy at home
"And then it happened one day: philosophy came home! The schools emptied and returned to silence. So it got quite busy at home: Mom and Dad and the kids and the dogs and the deliveries and … a lot of time and … a program? Not really."
