August 5, 2010
Its still 2010 - but we are more than 1/2 way through the year. So much has happened. Please continue to check back for more information on raising a family to be the global citizens they can and should be.
More information has been added about traveling safely with or without health conditions. Vaccination warnings and travel warnings. Links exist for travel sites, passport applications, international medical resources, and more. We hope you keep coming back for more!
Internet resources have been added in the Health Village, Education News and Services pages that you can use to raise great kids!
Blogs on Education are available in the Education News, Classifieds are under Services and new feature fiction has been put up for comment.
Finally, in an effort to make the world in 2010 a better place here are the Top Ten Resolutions I would like to see all parents try:
1. Read with your child(ren) every day.
2. Encourage them to tell stories about their lives - even if its about outerspace :)
3. Play outside with them - the fresh air is good for them
4. Guide them in healthy eating choices; avoid red dye, carbonated beverages, caffeine and sugar where possible.
5. Teach them that there are higher powers and stronger forces in their lives.
6. Support their dreams
7. Stop Smoking and talk to your kids about it.
8. Talk to your kids about sex and safety and overall wellness.
9. Get them to school on-time.
10. Hold your public officials accountable for your children's future.
Print magazines are going out of business everyday because of the wide availability of the internet. Additionally, national magazines on parenting are planned and written by editors, not parents and educators.
We want to do things better by:
1. Offering up to date information on parenting issues
2. Providing Information on education efforts around the country
3. Publishing Classifieds for Businesses all families need, and
4. Creating an online directory of local listserves for families looking to connect.
