ON Networks Presents The Parent Code: A New Style of TV Show on Parenting "Because Kids Don't Come with Instructions

AUSTIN, Texas (BusinessWire EON) September 18, 2007 -- Recognizing today's families are busy with little time to spare, The Parent Code offers short, fast-paced, information-packed episodes each week, giving parents an online TV show they can watch anytime, anywhere. Parents watch the show online at www.onnetworks.com or download the show for free from iTunes and watch it on their iPhone or video iPod while waiting to pick up their kids from school or on the computer or Apple TV while preparing dinner.

"The Parent Code is focused on giving parenting advice that parents can use to save time and money, make their family's life easier, and keep their family healthy and happy," says show host Tonya Kerr, good-natured (and sometimes frazzled) mother of three. A veteran television journalist, Kerr was the former host of Houston's KPRC-TV's "Family First" show and contributor to Houston Family magazine.

"With the show, we want to have a little fun and keep parents laughing, too," Kerr says. "Parenting is too important to be taken seriously."

The Parent Code covers children's topics from all stages of child development, including the "five-second rule" and baby sign language to video game violence and cheap chic shopping for kids.
