Today's blog will be short. It is about a great site I found for teens sponsored by the NEMOURS Foundation, which was founded by the Alfred DuPont in 1936 as a medical resource for children. (Click on the highlighted links to be taken straight to the web page and check it out now.)
This is one of the best teen sites I have seen. The articles are written primarily by doctors and include topics such as sex (very straight forward, in a textbook variety way), common diseases affecting teens, mental health issues, just about any teen concern. Current articles that are up are skin care, coping with period problems, guy's body image problems, and salmonellosis, in addition to suggestions for Father's Day gifts and fun things to check out, like quizzes. Topics pertain to both younger and older teens.
While the site is for teens, it can be used by parents. It is a great insight for help concerning your child's problems, and for reminding yourself what it was like to be a teenager. The topics are germane to everyone concerned with teen health.
There is a super section of recipes, including recipes for kids with cystic fibrosis, diabetes, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, and teen vegetarians. You and your teen will love this website.
Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there!
