ParentMap, January 2014 Issue

We're starting off 2014 with a new look and fresh intentions. This January, we're challenging everyone to get outside! Nature expert Richard Louv explains why a walk in the woods can calm ADHD, make your family happier, and deliver your kid to Harvard. For extra incentive, enter our Kids in Nature photo contest!

If you need more inspiration, read about one mom's hope that her kids will trade virtual reality for the real thing (even as teens), and explore places to ski in B.C. for maximum winter family fun that will please kids of all ages.

We'll help you get in good health this year by introducing you to Rizzmic, and we'll help you cope with back pain, manage asthma, and help prevent cardiac arrest in teens. 

Happy 2014! We hope the year brings lots of fun family times and renewed energy!
