Sites for Parents, kids and teens

• I like to find sites that are specific to the
  parents concerns
• How to potty train
• Whats that spot on my kids leg
• Why does the rash look like that? (yuck)
• Kids and teens doing research to fulfill teacher
  assignments
• Kids and Teens looking up information about their
  own health
• Like to have those sites splitseparate sections
  because kids and teensare drastically different
