Healthy Moms, Healthy Families

Dear Parents,

Does your child have persistent problems with reading? We have quizzes to help you determine whether your preschooler, grade-schooler, middle-schooler, or high-schooler should be tested for dyslexia.

March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month. Take some time to review the hazardous materials in your home, learn how to avoid food poisoning, teach your kids to recognize warning labels, and keep the poison control center's phone number handy!

Also in this issue: Are you ready for adoption? Find out what you need to know about a child, what funding exists for adoption, and how to find the right adoption agency.
