Is Your Kid Ready to Ditch the Booster Seat?
5-Step Booster Seat Fit Test
Kids grow fast, and it's easy to assume they've outgrown their booster seat when they really haven't. Most kids still need one until age 10 or 12, even if they insist otherwise. Take two minutes to run through this quick 5-question check with your child and know for sure, before their next ride.

Utah kids report the number one reason they choose not to drink
is their parents’ strong disapproval.
Worried about underage drinking or drugs?
Here's something surprising: when Utah kids are asked why they don't drink, the number one answer is "my parents would be disappointed." Parents Empowered gives you the actual words to have that conversation, so your voice can be the one that makes the difference.
You don't need the perfect words, just a place to start. SAMHSA's national campaign gives parents real scripts and simple, practical tips for talking with kids about alcohol and drugs, so those hard, important conversations feel a little less awkward and a lot more natural.
"You don't have to figure this out alone."
Watching a parent's memory fade is hard enough without also trying to figure out how you'll pay for the care they need. This guide walks through the financial help that's out there, so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time with them.
