I took a look at this site with my day job hat on (writer and journalist).

Put bluntly, it's just not very good. It has a spuriously fairly 
professional 'look' and navigational features, but the content 
doesn't match up.

I think the site owner is a well-meaning person, but that's not enough.

Websites - like newspapers, magazines, books - need editors. The 
editors are needed to check for errors, inconsistencies, 
inaccuracies, readability....all the stuff which has not been checked 
out. This site desperately needs an editor.

I can confirm Lara is right about the 'lifting' - this shows naivete 
at best and dishonesty at worst.  Some of the stuff has come from one 
of the big name US parenting sites - the type of site quite prepared 
to sue for breach of copyright, I would imagine.
