For more than 20 years, Cooperative Extension University and county faculty throughout the nation have made available an unusually parent-friendly series of educational newsletters. Monthly issues of the newsletters address information by age groups. Through local and state collaborations that often feature the county Extension office, hospitals, health departments, and social service agencies, most parents receive the newsletters through the mail. Parents are encouraged to discuss the content with others--friends, family members, physicians--and to seek out additional information. And, age-paced newsletters, with valid research-based information, can be read by all of the adults caring for a child; the content will help dispel child-rearing myths and clarify misinformation. Parents rate the newsletters as highly useful for childrearing advice more often than they rate any other source of information, including physicians, nurses, relatives, and other printed materials. Those who report they change their behaviors and attitudes most as a result of reading the newsletters are the youngest, poorest, and least educated parents.
