Press Release Summary = The sharing of experience can be a lifesaver for parents
going through their first parenting challenges. First Times Cards for Parents lend
support and encouragement.

Press Release Body = Parents are always calmed and assured when they find someone
who has been through something before them. Each stage in a child's development has
its own challenges that can cause a parent experiencing what may be typical
behavior, to doubt themselves and their parenting skills. Sharing lessons learned
can be a valuable and reassuring aid to a parent during these things for the first
time.

We all know the joys of the first smile, the first words, and the tentative first
steps, which are treasured and stored safely in a parent's mental photo album. "It's
a good thing these tender memories are stored away because soon a parent may need to
cling to them for dear life during puberty," according to Mary Fagan, mother and

developer of the "First Times" Greeting Cards for Parents. Those memories, and
wisdom from parents who have traveled that road before, can provide support to
parents of new teens.

"First Times" cards were developed for use during the turbulent years of adolescence
when a once mild-mannered son or daughter takes on some salty characteristics. Fagan
says signs of this include overhearing words coming from their mouths that would
make a sailor blush, getting tattoos and piecing body parts that would be considered
torture if the parent had suggested it, and mood swings. She also notes that the
first time these signs surface, they hit a parent hard. Parents need to know that
they are not alone at this time.

Fortunately, there are other parents to lean on that have found their sea legs and
who are willing to offer their advice and support. They can provide assurance other
less experienced parents that they are not the only parent ever told they were
stupid, hated, mean, old fashioned, a dork or the only one to say "no." \"The first
time these things happen, they hit a parent hard, but revived with the realization
that you are not the only parent listing to the stern, you can survive a roiling
adolescence as it rolls in, and over you, again and again and again," says Fagan.

Whether it's a parent's first experience with PMS, backtalk, swearing, or
disagreements over clothing, this set of specialized greeting cards can be
lifesavers tossed in a parent's direction when they need support. Each inspirational
card for parents experiencing a "first time\" has a line of wisdom and a line of
advice to navigate a parent through their teens turbulent times and to let them know
that they are not alone.

First Times Greeting Cards for Parents cover many of puberty's typical parenting
challenges and are perfect for a fellow parent filled with self-doubt, preventing
them from second guessing, or the sinking feeling that they are losing it.
