About Child Care: Time to Say Goodbye
![]()
From Robin McClure, Your Guide to Child Care.I have been the guide of About.com to Child Care for 5 1/2 years now--from the time my youngest was only a mere 3 years old. Since then, my kids have grown, and my About site has matured at the same time. I've enjoyed writing this weekly newsletter, blogs and articles that I hope have helped others in their parenting journeys. Now, it is time to say goodbye. With a third grader, middle schooler, and a high school senior, I'm no longer as concerned with finding child care as I am with locating a good college and learning survival skills for when my daughter turns 13. Thanks for all the support, feedback, and ideas along the way. I am glad the childcare.about.com site will continue as a resource for parents and providers, and my articles will still be available to help others. Be sure to check in often. I know I will!

The happy feelings and relaxation that come from spending the holidays together can quickly get replaced with bills, maintenance needs, taxes, and another round of holiday planning. The first of the year is often an ideal time to conduct some child safety checkups around your house as well. There's no rest for the weary, when it comes to parenting!
