The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation tells us that 25 million kids and teens are overweight or obese.

The Foundation recommends reading an important series about this topic posted on washingtonpost.com

DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE A BRAIN?

The Partnership for a Drug Free America has just released an interactive "tool" to decode the teenage brain. It  helps explain why our teens do what they do.

This is a great site for background, tools, links and other information to help us raise our kids. We recommend you visit this new section: www.drugfree.org/teenbrain.
