Pregnancy & Parenting CL ScooPP!

Check out what's new, things to know,

milestones, and grab some promos for your boards!
 

 


January 23, 2006

I’d like to take this time to thank you all for the warm welcome you gave me when I joined the Pregnancy & Parenting Community Team. I’m really enjoying working with all of you. I feel like I learn something new every day. 

It’s been fun watching my boys, who are now of school age, learn new things every day too! I like to check the message boards in their age range to see what children of their age are learning. The School and Learning boards have a wealth of wonderful resources.

 

Have you seen these articles -- school bullies, nutritional needs, school safety? Whew! I am not ready for a teenager! I think what I need to be is a Mom in School! There is so much out there that I don’t know.

If you’ve seen other interesting articles around iVillage, please share them with me and the other members of the Team board. You can also share them with members of your own boards as they may find them interesting.
