Last year, the first annual State of the Kid survey allowed us to tell the world what it was like being a kid in 2009. Kids 5 and up told Highlights about their problems, interests and experiences.

At Highlights, we're focused on helping children grow up to be confident, creative, curious, and caring individuals. We love getting the mail they send us and hearing their perspective on things.
In our State of the Kid survey, we gave kids a national platform to share their thoughts on their interests, concerns, and experiences growing up today.
