Special Boxes

To round out each issue we have new items, practical how-to information, and special activities.

The June issue, devoted to dads with an article Daddy from Day One by Armin Brott came with a listing of Fathering organizations, and ways fathers can overcome obstacles to their involvement in their children's lives.

Our July/August issue on Free to Learn: Helping kids explore and learn from their world by John Falk and Lynn Dierking came with boxes on Making the Most of a Museum Visit as well as a listing of organizations to contact to find special museums and collections.

We recognize that parenting definitely comes with a funny side so our May issue focused on Fiction, Fibs, and Tall Tales but we also published trenchant but humorous musings of Amy Krouse Rosenthal Heck, Yeah, I want a Medal! The things moms do for love.

Research News is a reoccurring column that brings current research findings into your hands, accompanied by what it means for parents and child care professionals.

We also have a special occasional columns, The Pet Stop, written by Sandy Whiteside who covers the questions and issues faced by pet owners, and would-be pet owners.
