WNBA star Lisa Leslie launches new parent kit and talks about her impending motherhood




WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie helped First 5 California launch their updated Kit for New Parents by handing out kits at the Grove's Kids Club in Los Angeles on Thursday. The kit is a free comprehensive parenting resource that includes everything, from practical advice on prenatal care, to information on a child’s first years. The kit has a retail value of about $75, the Kit for New Parents is free to all new and expecting parents in California. Lisa is going to be a parent herself - she is expecting her first baby in June. Of her impending motherhood, Lisa said:
It is so incredible having a baby, but I wish they were born with their own instruction manual.
Lisa won't be needing an instruction manual herself, given she helped update this new parent kit. It includes information for new parents on nutrition, safety, quality child care, health, discipline and early learning. The new Kit also includes an educational DVD with parenting advice from prominent child development experts and celebrity parents, such as talk show host Cristina Saralegui, Rob Reiner, Phylicia Rashad, Gloria Estefan, Andy Garcia and Jamie Lee Curtis.
