By age I mean more specifically what generation they belong to. For example, tweens that have parents that are early Gen Xers would have a different parent/child experience than those with parent that are late Baby-Boomers. The same with grandparents; are they an early Baby-Boomer or somewhere from the Silent Generation. A book that may offer some insight related to different generational pairings would be <i>Millennials Rising - The Next Great Generation</i> by Neil Howe and William Strauss.

I was curious if you had seen the educational video game, Timez Attack created by Big Brainz (www.bigbrainz.com). They have done a fantastic job of refusing to compromise on entertainment and education. The video game teaches all of the multiplication tables 2-12. If you haven’t seen or heard of it, I would definitely suggest checking out their free base version that is fantastic!
