Enrichment Resources For Children Ages 10-14

As I was doing my research for this article, I found myself thinking back to when I was 12 years old. My folks were good parents, but they didn't have the means to enrich my elementary and junior high school education. I always did my homework and practiced piano pieces, but I wanted more. That's why the Westmount Public Library became one of my favorite after-school haunts. I could explore anything and everything, and I did. That was then. Now, look at the resources my grandchildren have in a device that fits in their hands.

So, with that in mind, here are some apps, YouTube Channels, and podcasts suitable for enriching the studies of students ages 10-14. (We'll look at resources for younger and older students in another article.)

Apps

You can find most of these apps in your smartphone's store. Most are free. Take time to review and sample these apps yourself. Doing so will lead to some interesting conversations with your child. Exchanging ideas and opinions will help forge a strong relationship with your young person.

This video offers some suggestions for enriching your child's education.

YouTube

Trusted channels such as the Smithsonian and Nationa Geographic channels will reassure parents. Add to those old standbys some exciting new channels, and you have many hours of visual exploration to open new vistas and stimulate critical thinking.

Podcasts

I've given links to these podcasts on Spotify. But you can find them on your favorite podcast platform.

Kindle

I saved reading resources for last. You know what your child enjoys reading. These sites will offer some additional reading pleasure.
