KidInfo publishes general information to help families with children from birth to age 12: learning resources, activities, reading ideas, product guidance and parent resources. Please read this page to understand what our content is and is not.
General information, not individual advice
Information on KidInfo is general. It is not a substitute for professional advice from someone who knows your child, such as:
- a pediatrician, doctor, nurse or other health professional;
- a registered dietitian;
- a psychologist, therapist or counselor;
- a speech, occupational or physical therapist;
- your child’s teacher, school or special-education team.
Every child is different. If you have concerns about your child’s health, development, learning, behavior, eating or safety, please talk with a qualified professional.
What we do not publish
KidInfo does not currently publish medical, diagnostic or treatment advice, therapy guidance, specialized or restrictive diets, food allergy management, infant sleep advice, mental health advice, medication guidance, first aid instructions or car-seat installation instructions. If we add these topics in the future, they will be reviewed by a suitably qualified professional, and the page will name the reviewer.
None of our tools, quizzes or checklists diagnose any condition.
Food and recipes
Our food content is everyday family cooking and food education. We may list common allergen ingredients where we have checked them, but we do not certify any recipe as allergen-free or safe for a specific allergy or medical condition. Always check ingredient labels and follow advice from your child’s doctor or dietitian.
Activities and products
Activities list suggested ages and supervision levels as a guide. Adults are responsible for judging what is safe for their children, space and surroundings, and for supervising. Product information is checked at the time of writing but can change; check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall database at cpsc.gov/Recalls before buying children’s products.
US-focused guidance
KidInfo is written for families in the United States. Where we refer to health, safety, school or legal guidance, it reflects US sources such as US government agencies and professional bodies. Guidance can differ in other countries; if you live elsewhere, follow your local authorities.
Learning content
Our learning pages are designed to support, not replace, what children learn at school. Teachers and curricula may present topics differently. If a school assignment asks for a specific source or approach, follow your teacher’s instructions.
Information can change
We review pages regularly and show when each was last updated, but research, recommendations and products change. If you find something out of date, please let us know through our corrections page.
