LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Is my child’s school the best place for him? Am I prioritizing our family mental health? Do I need to put in a storm shelter? When are we going to schedule time to play as a family? Does this resemble a 13-second snapshot of your stream of consciousness, too?! If so, you’re not alone. How many times a day as parents do we question ourselves — and even guilt ourselves — as we try to do the best we can for our kids? The fact that you are trying to get it right means you’re a great parent. Read that again! We see you, parents. Our team at MetroFamily is navigating parent life right alongside you, and the most fulfilling part of our work is the opportunity to encourage, support, provide resources, laugh, create community and sometimes cry with you. We create this “Everything Guide” each year to try to help quell some of that chaos in your mind by providing the “best” in local, parent-vetted resources. Voted on by you, our readers, you’ll find everything from after- school activities and healthcare professionals to therapy services and locales for family fun in these pages. Hang on to this issue for year- round access to the answers to some of those questions swirling in your parent brain! Because we believe that joyful family fun is crucial to family wellness, you’ll also find adventures to add to every season of your calendar. Plus, don’t miss our annual
