Such A Smart Mom: A Unique Web Site Helping Parents Guide and Inspire Their School-Age Children

Posted on: Wednesday, 6 May 2009, 10:49 CDT

SAN DIEGO, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart parents know that when they need advice on their children's education, one of their most trusted resources is another smart parent. That's why so many are turning to Such A Smart Mom, a one-of-a-kind Web site with free news and advice for parents of school-age kids.

Such A Smart Mom, at http://suchasmartmom.com, is the creation of Ruth McKinnie Braun, a veteran journalist, mother of two and a longtime PTA mom.

Such A Smart Mom answers pressing questions parents have:

  • How do I help my child take more responsibility for homework?
  • How can I make sure my child has what it takes to go to college?
  • How can I use the summer months to help my child work past struggles with reading? math?
  • How can I inspire my bright, but underachieving child?

Shrinking school budgets, crowded classrooms and fiercer-than-ever competition to get into college make it more important than ever for parents to be involved in their children's education.

"As a mom, I understand all too well that parents have just 13 precious years to get their kids from kindergarten to college," Braun said. "Such A Smart Mom will be there every step of the way as a trusted resource."

Braun started Such A Smart Mom after more than two decades as a reporter and editor at The San Diego Union-Tribune. She's a mother of two teens and a former parent group president with more than a decade of school volunteer experience.

Her extensive background in journalism shows through in the caliber of her reporting and writing. Her instincts as a mom and parent volunteer guide her story choices and bring a unique voice to her first-person blog that also appears on Such A Smart Mom.

"Our children can't put their education on hold until the economy turns around," Braun said. "Their time to learn is now. Fortunately, smart moms and dads can turn to Such A Smart Mom to help their kids get where they need to go."
