This Month’s Issue

Welcome to the new year! This month, we’re leaning into the questions, small wins and everyday moments that shape family life. We start by examining how emerging technology is already showing up in our kids’ worlds, and what parents should understand right now (and not panic about). 

The temp may be dropping, but there are still plenty of ways to have fun, even after the sun goes down! And, as always, don’t miss all the fun on our monthly Play List

We’re also sharing some great, practical strategies to help kids build routines that last (these can work for grown-ups too!), plus everyday ways to support early learning. And if planning a toddler birthday party is on your to-do this, you’ll love our easy and fun ideas to keep your little party animals happy. 

Here’s to starting another year on this parenting journey with curiosity, compassion and confidence.
