Parents: Do more than just click at new Web site
Moms and dads can cast their votes on various parenting issues, offer feedback on products, print practical checklists and enjoy other interactive tools and games at a new Web site, Interactive Parent (http://InteractiveParent.com).

New Web Site Explores the Diversity of Women Who are Mothers
Walnut Creek, California – Just because a woman has a child, it doesn’t mean she loses her own identity — at least that’s what the women behind Myria Magazine (http://myria.com), a new Web site for mothers launching on November 1, believe.
Created by two mothers who “met” online after giving birth on the same day in 1996, principals Nancy Price of California and Betsy Gartrell-Judd of Ohio designed Myria to bridge the gap between web sites and magazines that focus exclusively on parenting or on womanhood, to instead address the rich life experience of being a woman who is also a mother. Says Price, “Our hope is to deliver the best of both worlds: meeting our visitors’ needs as women, but never forgetting we share the joys and responsibilities of motherhood.”

Signature indicates an understanding of postpartum depression’s signs and symptoms, and a promise to encourage the new mother to seek help should she not be able to recognize the signs herself.
