Your Child, Ages 7-11
Dear Parents,
Is your child hooked on TV? A number of studies link too much childhood TV watching with obesity, diabetes, and aggression. Results of another long-term study, recently released, suggest that watching more than two hours of TV per day can lead to attention problems later in adolescence. In this issue, learn how to find alternatives to TV watching, choose good TV shows, fight media violence, and more.
Taking notes, reading, writing, and taking tests are critical study skills. You can help your child master them by adapting them to her learning style.
Also in this issue: everything you need to know about yard sales. With a bit of planning and preparation, a yard sale can be a fun weekend activity for the whole family.
