Dear Dr.MOZ,
I was wondering if or a reader had any suggestions for finding playgroups. We don’t have any young children in our neighborhood, but I know they must be out there somewhere. How do new parents usually do it?
Thanks,
Ann

It’s never too late or too cold outside to allow your toddlers to interact with cute meadow creatures thanks to Vancouver-based ClickToy Interactive. ClickToy’s software/toy “The Meadow” can be best described as an interactive pop-up book where children ages 1-5 are able to explore a virtual meadow by pushing keyboard buttons.

Dear Dr.MOZ,
We’ll soon be moving to a new state and I was wondering…how do parents learn about potential schools before they get there? When you are new to an area, you don’t really have anyone to ask except for realtors or the schools themselves. Do you have any tricks up your sleeve for reviewing schools […]

There’s a new browser war brewing and believe it or not, your toddler is the target market. I kid you not (pun intended), companies like the newly launched KidZui aim to provide a safe online environment for your children by offering a subscription-based browser marketed for kids between three and twelve. That’s no typo…three-years-old! Their […]

Hello GoodFather,
My wife and I are researching baby carriers for our baby registry, but we’re having a hard time choosing from the various styles. Do you have any advice for new parents trying to choose a baby carrier?
Thanks,

I’m happy to report that we have seen a steady increase in submissions to the Dr.MOZ doula (and midwife) directory over the past 3-4 weeks, so I thought I would keep up the momentum by extending the invitation to other doulas who may not be familiar with the resource. The Dr.MOZ doula and midwife list […]

I put together quite a few themed gift lists this December, but one trend that I wasn’t particularly comfortable featuring on the Dear Dr.MOZ blog was cell phones for kids. When I say “kids“, I mean toddlers as young as first and second-grade. According to Verizon Wireless, approximately 25% of children 12 and younger […]
