It makes engaging with their child fun and easy—and that's when children learn best."

Every day, letters arrive at our editorial headquarters from kids sharing their pictures and poems and their thoughts and dreams. For the sixty-three years that Highlights has received mail from kids, our editors have answered each and every letter and e-mail. In doing so, we've learned a lot about what kids care about and how they see the world.
At Highlights, our focus is helping children to grow into confident, creative, curious, and caring individuals. We love to get their letters and e-mails, not only because we love to hear their stories, jokes and questions, but also because knowing their perspective is essential in finding the best ways to serve them. In our first State of the Kid survey, we gave kids a national platform to share their thoughts on their interests, concerns, and experiences growing up in 2009. Respondents ages 5 and up told us what is on their minds.
We are excited to share this glimpse into our readers' lives and hope that you find what kids have to say as fascinating as we did.
