November Editor's Letter

Parenting. I know it’s been labeled “the hardest job you’ll ever love” and that is so true! Wouldn’t it be nice when a baby is born to be handed a manual that tells you what to do in all situations that arise? Baby won’t sleep through the night? Page 52 has the answer! Potty training not going well? Check out page 101. Tween girls caught up in drama? Head to page 160! And wouldn’t it also be nice if not only there were a manual, but if the parenting that worked for one child worked for all others? I’m still amazed at differences between my girls. Same parents, raised in the same home, yet two very distinct personalities. Because one-size-fits-all doesn’t apply to parenting clikc here for some tips on how to individualize your parenting. I guess the world would be boring if we were all the same!

Somehow the calendar has turned to November! The days just keep picking up speed and rolling along. As we enter November, I hope you find time to take some deep breaths and truly enjoy the holiday. Our Thanksgiving Guide has some great info on how to be thankful for not only the larger blessings in our lives like our families and health, but the smaller things as well, like a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning. In addition, you’ll find ways to grow gratitude within your family, a cute craft and a gift guide for those wanting to get a jump on holiday shopping.

We’re thankful for you, loyal KC Parent readers, and your many years of continued support!

Happy Thanksgiving!
