From the American Academy of Pediatrics, the most up-to-date advice for mothers, fathers, and caregivers of school-age children

Youâ€™ve outgrown the baby booksâ€”but your school-age child needs your guidance and support more than ever.

During the ages of 5 to 12, children continue to grow and develop skills and habits that will impact their future health and well-being.

â€¢ School issues including promoting good homework skills and social dynamics, and dealing with school problems and learning disabilities
