Welcome
Welcome to
YourChild: Development and Behavior Resources, a unique new
service of the University of Michigan's Department of Pediatrics.
- We designed
YourChild especially for parents. This 'website of websites'
offers an easy-to-use guide to help you (and your primary care
providers) get through the maze of cyberspace and find the
most helpful websites on many different child development
and behavior topics.
- The topics,
organized alphabetically, cover important areas like attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, parenting tips, and many safety
issues. Just what parents want to know more about.
- YourChild will feature here a special section with commentary by our
team of experts who will discuss current issues that are of
greatest interest to parents. The topic will change periodically,
and we will archive old commentaries.
- The team includes developmental and behavioral pediatricians and child psychologists in the Division of Child Behavioral Health and Kyla Boyse, R.N. .
- We carefully
reviewed and screened thousands of child development and behavior
Web pages and included those we felt were important, timely,
accurate, and practical. We've given you tools to find information,
resources, support and government agencies that can help you
in parenting your kids.
- Our comments
on each topic serve as a guide through cyberspace, summarize
the topic and offer basic advice.
- At the
end of each topic you will find a quick survey on how well
you liked our site. Please let us know what you think.
- A special
thanks goes to Kyla Boyse, R.N., a parent of young children
herself, whose original idea it was to create this special
website for YOU, the parent who needs and wants solid developmental
and behavioral information for YourChild.
P.S. We recently started offering YourChild podcasts. Take your parenting information on the go!
