Your Child, Ages 7-11

Dear Parents,

Presidents' Day provides a great opportunity to have some patriotic fun. Quiz your kids, color a portrait, or solve a puzzle with a presidential theme.

For your next family activity, explore scientific discoveries in your own backyard! Plants and animals make it easy to learn without ever leaving home.

Enrich your child's future by teaching him about money. Knowing how to save, spend wisely, and earn money isn't always intuitive, and he's not too young to start learning.
