Our December Issue!

Our December issue is on the stands, featuring our annual Holiday Gift Guide and a whole lot more! We organized the gift guide by age this year to help you find just the right presents for everyone on your list -– from the newborn baby to the adult who has everything. And because we all know it’s better to give than to receive (or at least as good! ), you’ll find a feature called Raising Kids to “Be the Change” exploring how we all can raise children who care about others and contribute to making the world a better place. We’re also proud to feature What’s Your Story? Preserving Your Family’s Unique History , with helpful tips about finding meaningful and enjoyable ways to preserve your family’s history for your children and generations to come. You’ll find all your favorite regular columns, too, from Ramona learning the joys of giving to an Angels Among Us featuring Neighborhood House to a Family Fare review of The Old Spaghetti Factory . As always, you’ll want to check our Family Fun Calendar for activities and events all month long, including a special section with festive Holiday Highlights . Pick up a copy — or read it online — today.

Our September Issue

Our September issue — which is out this week — is a favorite with Metro Parent staff because it includes the winners of our Readers’ Family Favorites contest. No one knows “family-friendly” better than our readers, and we’re thrilled once again to share all of your favorite places to eat, shop, work out, watch movies and just generally have tons of fun. Check it out to find out what gems your family has yet to discover. As we head back into the school year, our September issue also offers advice for raising kids who are scientifically literate at every age and stage. It’s not that we want them all to end up with careers in science, it’s just that we want them to grow up enthusiastic about exploration and discovery. We also explore childhood speech disorders , shedding light on the different types of speech disorders children can experience, the warning signs we should all learn to recognize, and how to get help as early as possible if you think your child might need it. You’ll find all your favorite regular features, too, including a Viewpoint offering an update on autism research presented by specialists from Oregon Health & Science University’s Center for Spoken Language Understanding; an Angels Among Us column introducing you to the Native American Youth and Family Center ; a late summer party in the park in Going Places with Ramona ; and a review of Pizzicato Pizza , a delicious treat for you and your school, in our Family Fare column. Of course our Family Calendar is filled to the brim with exciting activities every day of the month. While we think you’ll find the best of the Portland metro area in every issue of Metro Parent , this issue in particular reminds us of how lucky we are to live – and to raise our children! – in the Portland metro area!
