What Parents Need to Know
About SocialStudiesforKids
Parents need to know that this educational site includes a wide variety of topics and activities that kids will be into -- and probably have to know for a school report or test. Some things could definitely upset a kid (a timeline for the Holocaust has some pretty gruesome photos) but the site does a great job at warning you if there's anything to worry about. There are many ads on the pages, and book reviews contain an Amazon link to buy the book.

Families Can Talk About
