Members of the College have developed these helpful handouts to assist parents in the rearing of their children.

The American College of Pediatricians encourages parents to be deliberate and active in their childrearing efforts.  To promote this approach, the College has developed a poster encouraging parents to: "Lead Your Child to Good Health."

Facts About Youth is a practical resource for students, parents and educators on the development of sexual orientation of youth. Amid much confusion in today's society on this topic, the website, www.FactsAboutYouth.com, provides objective, scientifically-supported information for parents in childrearing and for educators in making sound school policy. Visit the website today to see the letter mailed to school superintendents and to find out what you can do to inform school officials in your area. From this site, you can download a fact card "What You Should Know," and a sheet of  "Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control."
