PBS Parents: Your Resource for Parenting
PBS Parents offers a deep catalogue of free resources and information from a variety of experts (including real parents) on everything from birthday parties to child development. It empowers parents to engage in their children’s development and offers educational resources tied to the PBS KIDSprograms their kids love.
The website features the online series “The Parent Show” with Angela Satomero. Offered online only, the show can be viewed and shared whenever a parent needs advice, ideas or a laugh. Each week, “The Parent Show” explores a topic that parents are dealing with today – such as school readiness, media habits or healthy eating – through video interviews, a follow-up video message, and a blog post. Angela interviews noted experts with a wide range of backgrounds, from astrophysicists to chefs to puppeteers, who share their unique and fresh ideas and tips for parents.
