Wellness Advisory Committee - Parent Resources

At a WAC seminar on Parenting Skills, many participants asked for additional resources on this topic. One that we have found is ParentTalk which is available on the Web. First, our disclaimer -- The WAC does not endorse any products or services advertised on or available from the linked Web site -- parents-talk.com.

Below is a description of this Web resource and a link to the site. So read on . . .

Dear KidsCom Parents -

We've got a surprise for you. The Parents & Teachers Place on KidsCom that you've come to rely on for information and entertainment has now grown into its own site called ParentsTalk, an online magazine for everyday parents with everyday challenges. We invite you to check it out (http://www.parents-talk.com).

ParentsTalk is a place that strives to make being a parent a little easier. A place to find and share information and advice for families from a parent's perspective. And a place where we can have a little fun, 'cause after all, kids aren't the only ones who like to play!

The site features personal stories and tips from parents around the world about everyday family life. Plus, "Today" show contributor Dr. Sylvia Rimm provides parenting advice and we still have tech tips for those who are technologically challenged, online safety tips for families, great recipes, travel tidbits and loads of other helpful information.

We'll be updating our content regularly so be sure to check back often to see what's new and to add your own wisdom and experiences. Each week we'll feature a new What My Kid Did Story of the Week, Travel Tip, Tip for the Technologically Challenged and Question of the Week answered by Dr. Sylvia Rimm. And of course, we're looking forward to receiving personal stories, advice and pictures from you, because that's what makes ParentsTalk so unique. ParentsTalk is about real people with real-life parenting experiences.

You can still find us off of the KidsCom home page under Parents &Teachers, or you can get there directly by going to http://www.parents-talk.com. Be sure to stop by and sign-in so you can fully experience what ParentsTalk is all about. And don't forget to send in those stories or pictures. We look forward to sharing the parenting experience with you - because no matter how old your kids are you're always a parent.
