Kids & Philosophy

Been listening to the Diane Rehm show on podcast, and just came across a very interesting episode. Diane talks to Marietta McCarty about her new book, Little Big Minds. Not having read the book myself, I can't vouch for it except for the author's explanation - which I thought was right on. She argues that children as young as kindergarteners can get a lot out of very serious philosophical discussions, and backs it up with personal experience.
Having been exposed to philosophy at an early age myself, I can only agree completely.
You can hear the show here.
