Every Atheist Parent Needs: The Kid Should See This @TheKidShouldSee

It’s very important to me to be able to raise intelligent, literate, critical thinking kids and I’m always scouring the internet for resources to that end. This past weekend, while looking for some Neil deGrasse Tyson videos my son might like, I came across this web site and I fell in love immediately.

It’s called The Kid Should See This and it’s kind of like Upworthy for kids. It’s just video after video that engages kids and each post has some kind of educational depth.
