Healthy Moms, Healthy Families
Dear Parents,
This issue is all about helping you and your family breathe easy. Learn how to protect your kids from asthma, and how to avoid other respiratory problems caused by mold or bacterial infection.
While some causes of breathing problems may be unavoidable, cigarette smoking isn't one of them. Secondhand smoke can be devastating for a child's health, and statistics show that children of smokers are more likely to become smokers themselves.
Finally, breathing clean air is important for overall good health. Learn about how air pollution can affect your pregnancy, possible airborne hazards in schools, and the dangers of carbon monoxide.

What's new in the FamilyEducation blogs:
"A teenage girl was suspended for 2 weeks for taking her birth control pill during lunch, violating the school's 'no pill' policy. I understand the need to curb drug abuse in schools, but in a nation struggling with sky-rocketing teen pregnancy rates, what message does this send? Be responsible for your health, and you'll be punished?"
