Letter From The Publisher

Greetings,

I hope you had a fun spring break! My kids were living their best lives enjoying sports camp and theatre camp. It was a great practice run for this summer which will be here before you know it! I am working on my summer plans right now, as some camps already have full weeks!

Check out our freshly UPDATED Summer Camp Directory starting on page 18. Last month, we talked about how beneficial camp is for kids, but do you know it is good for parents too? Check out the article by Tanni Haas, Ph.D. about how a little time apart this summer can help you too! Read it on page 32.

April is also our baby and maternity issue; my babies are so big now, but I remember getting my oldest child ready for their brother to come home. There are some great tips on preparing your child for a new sibling on page 12. Expectant parents don't plan on their baby visiting the NICU, but it does happen and can be very stressful. On page 8, we have a great article from the March of Dimes on what to expect, how to cope with stress, and how to support someone with a baby in the NICU.

Remember, we are your LOCAL parenting resource and a wealth of information. We are here 24/7 online at www.pbparenting.com or connect to our Facebook Group, Palm Beach County Moms! We are over 16,000 LOCAL moms strong. It is so easy to reach out to such a resource of savvy moms. Our group is over 12 years old, so we have veteran moms (and even some grandmothers) down to expectant moms looking for their first pediatrician. Request to join on Facebook at Palm Beach County Moms.

Happy Parenting,

Volume 12, Issue 4 | April 2023
