Community Corner

Today's Topic: Organized Sports at an Early Age

Moms Talk is a new feature on Severnaparkpatch specifically for moms, caregivers, dads and grandparents.

Severnaparkpatch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Severna Park.
Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council take your questions, give advice and share solutions.
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 schools weather their budget cutbacks?
