Letter from the Director

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the first publication of ParentLink’s newsletter! We are excited about this opportunity to connect with you and your family. Inside this newsletter you will find columns about nutrition, parenting, adolescents, and new free print resources including books, brochures, and videos.

Don’t forget that ParentLink also offers toll-free numbers in both English and Spanish to all Missouri families. Call anytime to talk to a supportive WarmLine specialist about parenting concerns or questions. Feel free to e-mail us at parentlink@missouri.edu or visit our website.

As a mother of two teenage girls I leave you with the following text message:

LLL

Love because that’s what makes the world go round,
Laugh because you’ll wear yourself out if you don’t; and
Learn because you’ll want to understand the value of loving and laughing.

LLL to all,

Carol Mertensmeyer,

ParentLink Program Director
