Ferndale Patch will dedicate a column each week to a discussion with moms and dads about anything, really. We're looking for questions to be asked and answered, advice seekers, advice givers, sharing solutions or experiences and asking for feedback — that's what we want. Anything you want to talk about, we will discuss in the comments section.

Of course, this column doesn't work if you don't participate, so let's get it going!

We'd like to be a new resource for moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community and who may have questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Is there a parenting hot topic? Tiger mom comes to mind. How about vaccinations? Where do you fall on that? This also will be a place to discuss these tings.

So grab a cup of coffee, or whatever you like to drink in the afternoon, and settle in as we start the conversation.
