| A Letter from the Publisher What can we do for you? How may we help your family? These simple questions planted the seed -- and North Shore Children & Families was born. Who are we? Let me start by telling you who we are not. We are not just another ad-packed publication flooding the marketplace. We are not just another website cluttering the world wide web. We are not interested in just rehashing bits and pieces from the internet -- claiming to be content. We are not a big publishing company focused purely on profits. So – who are we? We are the local, community resource and information source for families throughout the North Shore. We share practical, insightful, useful information to help families like yours thrive and survive in a complex world. We offer “need to know” -- not just nice to know -- information. We are a safe haven -- a forum where parents can ask our editor -- an educator with expertise in both child and adult development -- any questions they need answered. We don't charge for this valuable information and resource -- it's the core of our being. We are all about sharing helpful information and achieving positive results -- for our readers, the families throughout the North Shore, and for our marketing partners and sponsors. North Shore Children and Families is distributed monthly for free, at many family-frequented locations throughout the North Shore. Each current issue is also available online. We are local -- we are small -- but we are powerful, informative and giving. We work hard for you and for the local North Shore community because we are members of the North Shore community. So, what can we do for you? How may we help your family? |
| A Letter from the Editor North Shore Children & Families is a publication that asks what it means to be a parent in today’s complex world. North Shore Children & Families addresses the needs of young children, adolescents, families and parents alike. Our goal is to support parents in their attempt to promote the development of their children, their families and themselves. We will bring you articles on a variety of different issues related to parenting. These include thoughts about how to raise a moral child, the development of interpersonal relationships, how to promote intellectual development in your child, working with schools to ensure that your child receives the best possible education, and, of course, discipline and much more. We will bring you practical tips to help you to do the toughest and most important job there is — parenting. But wait — parents are part of the family too! Adults don’t stop developing just because they are over the age of 18! North Shore Children & Families will bring you articles and resources that will help parents promote their own development. Whether it be a focus on developing as a parent, as a person juggling career and home-life, as an adult dealing with the difficulties of raising children with special needs, or caring for aging parents, North Shore Children & Families provides resources to support the entire family. We are always looking for ways to improve what we do; we are always trying to find better ways to serve families on the North Shore. So, please write to us and tell us what you think of our publication and our website. Please write to us about the type of information and ideas that you would like to see in North Shore Children & Families. And do consider submitting your own ideas and creative work. |
