Celebrate Friendship Month and Valentine’s Day in Playgroups Across the Country ChildAvenue.com Mothers Moms through its New Discussion Board and Newsletter

Cypress, CA, January 17, 2006 – Moms with babies or young children at home often feel isolated and removed from life. The playgroup directory at www.ChildAvenue.com is a resource for moms in the United States searching for friendship with other moms in the same situation. Just in time for February’s Friendship Month, www.ChildAvenue.com has a new discussion board and newsletter where moms can share information about playgroups, events, and activity ideas as they help each other negotiate the ups and downs of motherhood.

According to psychotherapist Dr. Brenda Hunter, author of The Power of Mother Love, “Every new mother needs to be mothered.” Playgroups serve as support networks for women to connect, learn from each other, and share mothering joys and pains as they transition into their mothering roles. Most importantly, playgroups allow women to form lasting friendships that will nurture and promote them as women.

“I created www.ChildAvenue.com five years ago soon after the birth of my son,” states owner Leah Seki. “I wanted to develop a network of new moms on my ‘avenue’ who were looking for support and an opportunity for their children to make friends.” Now Seki’s playgroup directory has over 1,000 entries in almost every state. The playgroup directory at www.ChildAvenue.com is free and easy to access.

New features at www.ChildAvenue.com include the discussion board and newsletter. “I hope that moms from across the country will participate and write in about their playgroup friendships and networks. Through the discussion board and newsletter, my goal is to enlarge moms’ support base as their identities as mothers grow,” comments mompreneur Seki. For February, the newsletter will focus on Friendship Month and Valentine’s Day themes, perfect topics for playgroups moms and children!”
