ParentMap, July 2013 Issue

Happy summer! The long, light days are finally here. Which hopefully means down time for the kids, family time to connect, and maybe the chance to travel or dig into some waiting projects or good beach reads. As you enjoy the endless sun, dig into our meaty feature on what's new with ADHD and our piece about makeup toxins.

We also bring you timely Ages & Stages info, from how to nurture musical literacy to how to protect your children from becoming victims to all about teaching your kid to get smart with money.

And of course you'll need ideas for unique summer outings! Check out our super-fun article "Family Vacations that  Rock: Exploring Fossils, Lava Tubes, Caves and Other Geologic Wonders."

Enjoy the change of pace and family fun that this new season brings!
