We especially liked the page tab topics for preteens and teens.
The page this tab opens up to is short and focused on the points of view important to kids of these age groups (preteen and teen).
There is a slide show that is bright and catches attention to actually get your teen to look at the page.The slides focus on the concerns that your preteen/teen actually has -- like bad breath. Whoever wrote the captions obviously does talk to real teens.
It's a good spot to point your teen toward when you want some quick back-up on the all important topics of:
Teen hygiene and habits
Wearing a mouth guard during sports
Smoking
and of course... the teen fad of Piercing.
Why don't you all take a quick look and see for yourselves. How much more family friendly do you find this website is than the usual medical information sites?
Thumbs up to the ADA for putting in place this clean and friendly website resource for the public.
We look forward to see how it develops as a real family resource over the next year or two as it adds more topics that help adults, kids and teens.
