Kids' Philosophy Gets Social

For all you social media junkies, we've set up pages on Facebook (Sophia the Wise) and Twitter (Sophia's Big Ideas). Join the fearless Sophia the Wise (our mascot) for fun facts about great thinkers, cartoon philosophy quotes and other bits of food for thought. Both are kid (and parent) friendly.

Our website www.kidsthinkaboutit.com is also getting a much-needed overhaul. The new and improved version will be coming soon, with more fun activities and resources. Bigger thinkers can find tidbits of wisdom at www.teensthinkaboutit.com and localphilosophers.com.

Here's to big ideas for little people!

They'll be hosting a conference this summer in New York City, and I'm dying to get there (not just because I like New York in June).

Now Playing: Great Thoughts From Young Minds

It's up! Visit the newly-posted "Kid Thinkers Wall of Fame" and read some of the amazing ideas kids have been stewing and brewing.
