And children as people.  The tools of the Thinkerer are for people.  Parents might use these tools for themselves.  The tools, after all, are for building life skills. 

Children are building life skills, too.  Parents will sometimes wish that children would build faster. 

Good thing this site is free. 
Nobody could charge for stuff that obvious.

In this venue, we will offer some suggestions on how parents might adapt the Thinkerer tools for use with their children. 

Learning, studying.  The Thinkerer tools for that topic are written for college and adult education students.  High school students could use the materials, but probably will not. 

The skills themselves, however, will benefit students of any age.  Parents may want to rate the child or teen on the Best Practices Clipit and the Study Skills Ratem to identify needed improvements. 

Team study.  Some pages about studying carry specific suggestions on using the page for team study.  These pages are designed for college students, but may also be useful for teens.  The pages may carry a link called Team Study for Parents.  Such a page will offer specific suggestions for parents to use with preteens.
