Hello Wong Leo, One of the most important precepts would be to avoid shutting down the child's own deep perceptual system by refusing to acknowledge its validity and function for the child. I once had a philosophy teacher try to shut me down when I expressed a universal truth in class. I refused to accept her judgment of me.
In addition, it would be good to include the Buddhist perspective on what is real, and how that ties into our responses to our minds, and to emotional stimulation. Especially, the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at the Stanford Medical School has a curriculum that trains children to be able to hold the position of compassion and altruism; it was developed in collaboration with the Dalai Lama and his scholar-monk colleagues. It has been deployed in over 2,000 schools now. I be Ed Cherlin has more thoughts on this, but he may be too busy writing his book to respond.
