Your Child, Ages 7-11

Dear Parents,

Diabetes is on the rise in children in the United States. Since November is Diabetes Month, take the time to educate yourself about this disease. Our expert advice will inform you of the risks of diabetes, as well as how to eat smart to manage this illness.

Thanksgiving is just a few days away! Did you plan ahead this year? If you didn't, fear not. We have everything you need to make a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, plus fun activities that the whole family will enjoy.

Due to the economic crunch, holiday shopping has started early this year. We have some great gift ideas for your child. Get toy advice and share it with other parents, and make a point to stay up-to-date on the latest toy recalls.
