RESOURCES on KIDS AND MEDICINES

Web site for American Academy of Pediatrics: http://www.aap.org/

Also, children’s hospitals in most cities/states have Web sites that are also reliable. Be cautious about information you read on the Internet – some sites may contain misinformation. Read carefully and look for corroboration from trusted sources.

RESOURCES on Staying Connected to Your Teenager

Reading:

Staying Connected to Your Teenager, by Michael Riera, Ph.D. (See the back of this book for a helpful list of resources.)

Web:

www.diaryproject.com

A web site for teens to log on, enter diary thoughts, etc. � but has a “parents” section so parents can learn from what the kids are saying. Remember, sometimes they do exaggerate when they are writing in a diary!
