Who Are "The SODAH Kids?"
Expert Advice
Expert advice on life as a preteen is brought to "We're Talking, Too!" by two college interns and six kids who have developed many stories, articles and other information for the site.
The group, which calls itself SODAH (Summer Opportunities for Developing Adolescent Health), consists of members ranging in age from 9 to 20.
Members write content about things they love, as well as articles drawn from their own experiences about such topics as good sportsmanship, handling divorce, transitioning from elementary to middle school, relationships and living with siblings.
The kids also contribute fun features, including recipes for do-it-yourself after-school snacks, poetry, graphics, movie reviews, words of the month, and book reviews. Parents review movies and books as well.
As adults, we have no way to fully understand their reality, because life was so different for us at that age. Their contributions make this site more relevant to our target audience," said the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Nancy Brown, Ph.D., who oversees the site.
