Raising Queens

Raising Queens is a new feature on BaysidePatch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

BaysidePatch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Bayside.

Each week in Raising Queens, our Family Council of experts and smart moms 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.

Raising Queens 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 children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question from Liliana De Jesus.
