Your child will be excited and encouraged by your interest. Eight-year olds can develop and use a simple calendar of family activities. Your eight-your old will learn to understand and follow directions. Your child can learn about money by helping you as you pay for groceries at the store or for food in a restaurant. Talk with your child about why rules and cooperation are important.
All children grow and develop differently.
