We
are proud that our site has been highlighted in both the Chicago
Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times and in American Baby
magazine. We also have been mentioned in Early Childhood, a quarterly
newsletter from the Winnetka (Illinois) Alliance for Early Childhood,
and Family Circle News out of Libertyville, Illinois. Please let us
know how you heard about us, and what you think of our site. We look
forward to hearing from you.
"Thank
you...thank you...thank you! Your words of advice and understanding
are very encouraging! My husband and I are looking forward to purchasing
your book and learning better ways of coping with the unending energy
supply our middle child posesses. Your confirmation of her antics
being geared toward getting attention helps reiterate our need to
focus individualized attention on her. Thank you again!"
"Dear Gail,
Thank you so much for your wonderful advice. I did purchase your book
along with some others the same day I sent you this e-mail. What I
have read has been very useful ... the problem is finding a few seconds
where I can actually sit down to read it! That is why I love how you've
arranged Pocket Parent, so I can quickly find answers on topics of
concern. Thank you again.''
"I have been using the parenting resource materials at our Child
Care Center for many years and they have helped many families. I am
thrilled to see you are now on the www and I can recommend your site
and well as your tapes. The site is informative, interesting and I
love the question and answer feature. Great job, ladies, keep up the
good work.''
"I just found your site -- loved it! It's so down-to-earth and
practical.''
"We recently moved from Skokie to Michigan and I miss all the
great parenting resources Gail created in Illinois. Pocket Parent
is great; I
have only now checked you out, and I'm delighted.''
"Thanks for letting me share these recipes, and thanks for all
of the other great recipes on your site!!''
"Love your website! Keep up the great work in helping parents
to be better people and parents.''
"I am writing from Georgia. I very much like the concept
of your web site, the colors and graphics are pleasant and appealing.
The categories are appropriate in that they are the headers to issues
that most parents deal with in a day-to-day basis. Your site
is much like cliff notes referances to go to when one feels burned
out or in need of insights from other parents.''
''I believe there is a need for the type of service that you are providing,
I can only hope that your efforts reach as many parents and parents
to be as possible. Much success to you and your organization."
"I really like your new site! It's clear and easy
to use. I very much like the colors you've chosen as well as
the graphics. Good luck to you!''
"I just checked out your web page and thought it would be quite
helpful to many parents. I hope they take advantage of asking
questions! I did print out Julie's chicken recipe and will make it
tomorrow evening, thanks!''
"Reviewing and suggesting books is a great idea, but it would
be helpful if you also indicate an age range for each item.
I am never sure which videos or movies are appropriate for my 3.5
year old. Once you have it home it is much harder to screen
before they see it. Thanks.'' (Note from Jo and Gail: Great idea!
We will try to include recommended ages. If you watched a video or
movie with your kids that you enjoyed, please tell us about it!)
"Your web page is fantastic!!! It looks wonderful.
The Pocket Pantry is really clever.''
"I love this site...it's awesome! Thanks for these great
resources."
