In the Magazine: November 2019

In November we focus on your family's health: physical, mental, and emotional. If your kids haven't gotten their flu shots yet, we take you behind the scenes of the vaccine debate to understand why some parents still aren't vaccinating their kids. If you're struggling during a challenging time with your child, we investigate nine baby ailments that you shouldn't worry about, the benefits of giving chores to your chore-adverse kids, and just why it is that your teen might be acting out. If your child has special needs, we look into why you might need an attorney to help him get the education he deserves from his school. And finally, we curated some of the best events in the city–from the new LuminoCity festival on Randall's Island to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade–to make sure your family has a happy start to the holidays. As you read through the magazine this November, we hope you'll be armed with the tools for a healthy season–in all forms.
