Parenting

The bond between parent and child is a priceless gift. Someone once wrote that "to have a child is to have your heart go walking outside your body." Yet, there are times when parenting is difficult and stressful. There are many resources available for help.

Maybe you have concerns about discipline, or wonder if your child is developing appropriately. You might not be sure when to start solid foods or where to find information about child passenger safety. The Washington County Public Health Department can give you the answers.
