For Parents

As a parent, you want the best for your child. Every parent does. And we can help.

If your child has a congenital cardiovascular defect or other problem, we invite you to check out the helpful information we offer on this topic. Our pages on Diseases, Conditions and Treatments will help you better understand your child’s ailment and the various options you may have. The more you know, the more control you’ll feel and the more peace of mind you’ll have — because you’ll be more able to help your child.

Our information on How To Help Your Kids covers important topics like diet and physical activity. Helping your child develop healthy habits early in life will bring lifelong benefits. As you gain practical tips on helping your kids eat nutritious meals and enjoy a physically active lifestyle, be sure to apply these same behaviors to your own life. The best way to lead your child to a healthy lifestyle is to set a positive example yourself.
