Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and whether your love language is quality time, physical touch or civic action, we’ve got something for you. 

Need a cozy night in? We’ve rounded up the most charming, kid-friendly rom-coms that pair perfectly with popcorn and early bedtimes. Want your little cherubs to finally pitch in with chores? We’ve got strategies for that, too. 

Meanwhile, big conversations are swirling — from a push to ban cell phones in schools to the current administration's latest attempt to close the Department of Education. Parenting in these unprecedented times is already a high-stakes job, but at least we can make the small stuff (like movie nights and tidier living rooms) a little easier.
