HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE WEBSITES
It's My Life (the PBS web site for kids). Advice from kids regarding divorce, as well as fun activities like quizzes, journal pages to download, etc.
This is a wonderful, very positive site about ADD... includes an array of information regarding kids who have ADD, as well as adults who have ADD.
The Learning Network’s "Parent Channel" site has lots of information and links to newsletters about specific topics and activities for children. There is both age and grade level specific information for parents of young children.
KidsHealth is the largest and most-visited site on the Web providing doctor-approved health information about children from before birth through adolescence. Created by The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, the award-winning KidsHealth provides families with accurate, up-to-date, and jargon-free health information they can use.
Another website for parents of children with attention issues.
Reading books~ to children about different topics is a great way to help children process their emotions. I do this a lot in counseling because it helps children realize that they are not alone as they deal with certain issues or problems. The following website list several books that are suitable for young children (lower elementary grades). The topics range from things like adoption and death to conflict resolution and other contemporary issues.
The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry had developed this website with information for families. Helpful information that can answer such questions as:
"Why can’t my child pay attention?"
"My child has been lying lately, is that normal?"
"My husband has been diagnosed with depression. How will our children be affected?"
