“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Happy New Year! We are delighted to bring you our New Beginnings issue! The new year brings with it a fresh start, and is a time for resetting your goals and the actions needed to reach them.
In response to the feedback of our readers, we are beginning a new column this month – Legally Speaking. We will be covering different legal subjects that affect families.
Winter break and the holiday activities may cause your child to forget or get out of their school routine. January is a time to reset those habits and goals. We have included an article in this edition that will aid you in creating a vision board that will open the discussion around goal planning. We have also included ideas on how to get your children to fall and stay asleep, a challenge that seems universal to all parents.
One of my resolutions over the years was to find time for meaningful conversation with my family. Why Family Dinners Matter gives you the science behind why this practice is so important!
