Should kids be penpals?

Answer by  quada13 (139)

Having pen-pals instills in children the importance of proper writing, grammar and the idea that friends can be anywhere, not just next door. The process of writing to a friend will also ease any stress or pressure the child is feeling, by allowing an outlet to vent or celebrate the successes of the day.

Having your child be a penpal can be a very rewarding experience for them. It is a great way for them to practice their reading and writing skills, and get excited about other cultures. If your family moves a lot, it can also help maintain a steady connection in your child's life.
