As our kids settle into the school year, we know parents are looking for ways to support their journey. Whether you have a precocious reader on your hands or a child struggling to treat others with kindness, we’ve got expert advice to make parenting easier. We are also exploring the hidden benefits arts and sports offer our kids; there are more than you think.

This month’s feature is a poignant reminder that sometimes the most important thing you can do as a parent is let go of expectations, take a deep breath and learn to be thankful for each moment.  

Plus, consider adding this new fall tradition to your autumn repertoire. And as always, our monthly Play List spells out the best in family fun October has to offer.
