This is a fun and helpful site for the questions your children may ask that deserve an answer. Type in global warming, for example, and find an explanation to describe the concept, plus what we, as citizens can do to help.

Kevin introduced this site to me a couple of years ago, and I love it. As a parent I find it very helpful. Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the media and entertainment lives of kids and families. Parents can review new movies, TV programs, etc.

This site has "award-winning products" available for purchase, which have helped students of all abilities achieve better grades and higher test scores. Many items build critical thinking skills, such as "What Would You Do? Book 1." This book gives children the opportunity to apply their moral values to real-life moral issues. Good family discussion problems here! Check it out!
