Philosophy for Children (P4C) is founded on a respect for children's rational abilities and their expressive capacities. It is a pedagogical approach that is designed to provide children with the opportunity to freely express themselves and practice the skills necessary for making well-reasoned choices. An individual child may feel unable to express her genuine thoughts during a Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CPI) for many reasons that relate to her particular circumstances. These reasons should be considered and addressed, as far as possible, by P4C facilitators. However, if children are restricted from freely expressing their beliefs during a CPI due to their shared status as children, this would be a foundation-shaking problem for P4C. The goal of this article is to establish that P4C can and should provide children with an opportunity to freely express themselves and have their voices heard. However, much of it will be dedicated to considering how children's expression might be restricted during CPIs due to adult attitudes and control.
