Parenting Resources
Sharing your concerns...

Welcome to our online resource for parents. There is already plenty of parenting information on the web, some of it valid and some questionable. Before you follow any health or wellness advice, please consider the source and remember to check with your child's physician. He or she is your personal resource for your child's well-being.

As we build this area of the Advocate Hope Children's Hospital site, we are committed to addressing topics or issues that are important to you. Through our experience with so many parents, we understand your concerns. And we would like to offer assistance or guidance to resources that can help. We would also like to hear from you. If you have questions or comments about services at Hope Children's Hospital, click here to contact us via email or call us at 1.800.3.ADVOCATE.
