Don't Forget the Bigger Kids

We love to indulge little people (including with educational materials), but often forget that learning to think is a life-long process, with many steps between childhood and maturity. Our teen years are often tumultuous, but they also present incredible opportunities, philosophically speaking. Adolescence is when we really learn the ins and outs of human relationships, and when we're forced to deal with difficult issues. More importantly, we're much more articulate than we were as children, and able to put names to ideas and emotions. Many teens find it incredibly empowering to be able to participate in "deep" discussions.

Thankfully, there are a great number of resources designed specifically for teen philosophers. For a list of books and websites, visit www.teensthinkaboutit.com.
