Featured Tips

Monitor your children's TV programs and the number of hours watching TV. The Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than 2 hours of quality programs each day. As an alternative to TV parents can suggest outdoor play; offer a board game or reading as an alternative. The most important way to monitor TV is to watch programs together.

Lives Changed

The Parents Anonymous® support group has helped me to go on, to say the way I’m doing it just isn’t working and to take a breath. I learned that you can worry all you want, but that doesn’t change things. You learn how to handle those everyday storms, when they refuse to do homework or break curfew.
