In the definition you give, "thing" seems to refer to a physical, tangible thing (e.g. kettle, goat, table). That would separate it from an "idea", by which they probably mean "abstract concept" (e.g. love, fear, communism, ethics, language, mathematics).
Love. Not as in "I love you" where it's a verb, but as an idea like "I need love in my life".
Since "idea" is not a person or a place, tell the 8 year old that if you have an "idea" in your head, then you have someTHING in your head. "Idea" belongs in the THING category.
