Friday Finds: PBS Parents

Twitter is quickly becoming my go-to place to discover the hottest topics and trends in education and parenting. And Twitter is where I discovered this week’s Friday Find, PBS Parents. According to their website, PBS Parents is:

… the trusted online resource that’s filled with information about your child’s development from birth through the early school years. Created with input from experts in child psychology, early childhood education, media and other fields, PBS Parents provides the answers you need to be your child’s first, best teacher.

One would have a hard time arguing that PBS doesn’t create some of the best educational television programming around. What’s so exciting is that they take the same level of quality to their online content, and the PBS Parents website is no exception. I am particularly impressed with the Education portion of the website and the range of topics that they address. From Early Math and Going to School to Children with Disabilities, they provide a wealth of information for parents. And don’t miss their Bookfinder, a tool that offers book suggestions from a database of more than 1,400 titles.

Thank you, PBS Parents, for continuing to provide us with resources and access to experts that will help us become better parents!
