Getting Parents Connected -- Author Provides Extensive List of Resources for Parents and Child Advocates


MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Many parents long for information about raising their families but have little time to explore resources. Stephanie Smith's new book, Get Connected: A Resource for Parents (now available through AuthorHouse), takes care of the legwork and offers parents a compilation of information to help their children succeed in all areas of life.

Smith's research allows parents to quickly and easily access excellent resources about issues such as child care, health care and education. She also provides specifics about community resources and inspirational material that can support parents. Smith even highlights places to find delicious recipes and recreational activities everyone can enjoy together.

Smith offers overviews of each topic, as well as checklists and great tips for parents. She lists Web sites, phone numbers and addresses for the top national agencies in each area of interest. Clear and concise, her information is perfect for parents on the go.

"This book was written to empower parents, social workers and child, parent and family advocates," she writes. "Parents will be inspired to achieve their dreams, to get involved in their community and in their child's education."

If knowledge is power, then Get Connected: A Resource for Parents is an excellent tool to help caregivers become powerful forces in the lives of their children.

Smith volunteers with the Minneapolis Public School systems and the Longfellow community reading programs. She earned a bachelor's degree from Augsburg College. Smith has one son.
