Your Child, Ages 7-11

Dear Parents,

Your child is never too young to start volunteering. Make it a family affair by helping out an elderly neighbor, or adopting a pet from an animal shelter.

TV-turnoff week begins on April 20th. How do you plan on keeping your kids busy without the tube? Don't worry! We've got tons of TV-free activities to keep your whole family occupied.

And lastly, do your part in helping out on Earth Day with our printable guide to greening your home. Teach your kids the importance of going green for a happier, healthier environment.
