7 - 8 Years

At this age, your child is gradually developing their own interests, but is still influenced by their teachers & friends. Some kids like doing science experiments (with help); others love painting crafts, making beaded jewelry, or playing with dolls. Friends are becoming increasingly important, and your child will start asking for a particular toy (if they haven't already) because "everyone else has it." At this age, kids often become huge fans of computer games, but they also enjoy having friends over to play sports and board games and build things.
