Pediatrics Now Awarded Star Safe Site Seal of Approval
 

I am excited to announce Pediatrics Now has been awared the Star Safe Site Seal Of Approval from WiredKids.

In addition to helping identify sites that are safe for kids and families, Wired Kids is an interesting site for kids in general and has sections for kids, tweens and teens. If you have a moment, check it out for yourself, and with your kids!

If your kids are interested in online information, Pediatrics Now's KidZone is a great place to start. You'll find links for all ages to places on the web site that are fun and educational. My kids and their peers are my official consultants on this section!
