This Month Topic: Family
and Parenting!
This is indeed a very hot topic. It is not easy nowadays to be a parent. We all need some extra hands. The links listed below appeared on the last Special Issue of Newsweek
NewsGroups
-- alt.parenting; misc.kids; rec.arts.books.children
WebSites
-- Obviously, Parenthood
begins the moment when pregancy
happens. It's a very special time. It is more than normal to be curious
about what is happening. Once again, Parenting is
not easy -- check what other parents has to say about their own experience
on ParentTalk.
If you can, ckeck Parent
Soup Web Site -- it's not only nicely made, but also very
informative and... interactive.
True, I teach 4th grade. But I know that great kids are just as great when they are younger. Parents of toddlers (or not so toddlers) may check this page completely dedicated to children from Zero to Three. It is sponsored by the National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families.
Parenthood,
however, might turn to be more difficult if the child is born, or develops,
some "problems." In cases like this, support is fundamental.
You can find some support on the Web as well (of course, otherwise why
would you be reading this page in the first place!).
Naturally,
the best kind of support that you can get, is the one you can give. Activities
like Parents Helping Parents
will help people to create a sense of community and support for each other.
Some
of these WebSites might also be very helpful
If
you need more information, just check one of the Search Engines and check
"childhood." I am sure you'll run into something you'll find
helpful. Of course, if you find any informative site, please let me know
so that I can keep this page update. Thanks!
