Mom's Talk Q&A: My Child Is College-Bound, Now What?

Our new weekly feature for parents and caregivers in the community to consult our council of mom's on various topics.

We invite you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in the Miller Place, Sound Beach, Rocky Point area.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community
will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question from our Moms Council:
