     Meet Our Bloggers!

Karen Alley, The Daily Post. As web editor, Karen blogs every day about news and events that are going on either in our area or on a national realm. Bringing together hot topics with local ties is what keeps her perspective on the news interesting.

Renee, Teen-dom Tales, provides a look into the life of a mom of a teen, a stage of life that brings with it a whole new realm of parenting challenges.

Stephanie, Mamma Said, writes witty and insightful posts chronicling the development of her two young boys, ages 3 and 1. As a Greensboro resident, they're out and about at locales around the Triad quite often, and she also brings in the working mom perspective at times, with her part time job.

Lisa, The Single Mom's Soliloquy, adds a different spin on parenting as she writes about the issues, challenges and joys of raising a daughter as a single mom. Her look at life in the new world order of blended families and split families is refreshing and sometimes controversial.

Heather Maggs, of The Time Out Corner, presents a humorous blog on the roller coaster life of a stay-at-home mom of a toddler.

Myra Wright, familiar to you as our editor, also blogs in Piedmont Ponderings. It's a great outlet for her creative sense of humor, and she brings some great perspective to life in King as the mother of three kids.

Pediatric Trauma Unit Coming to Baptist
Publish On 07-31-2008 , 3:55 AM

It's not something we like to think about as parents, but being a kid can be dangerous.  According to J. Wayne Meredith, chief of surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, accidental injury and death is the number one killer of children in our nation.

While keeping kids safe is our number one priority, caring for them in case of accident or injury is just as important. With that in mind, the Richard Childress family has teamed up with Baptist to create the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. The $5 million donation will help things get underway starting next year.  The center will focus on key areas in treatment, education and training, research and prevention of pediatric trauma.

Because of the programs and structure already in place at Baptist, the Institute will be able to focus on research, education, treatment and prevention and to raising awareness of childhood injuries.

In the meantime, help your kids stay safe these last few weeks of summer. Visit FamilyEducation.com for an all-encompassing list of safety tips, from playgrounds to pools to food safety for picnics. Find ideas to bring up safety in discussion at Talkingwithkids.org.
