This timeless edition of Minnesota Family is dedicated to guiding families toward positivity and health. Our articles provide practical suggestions to help parents foster positive communication (p. 4), navigate childhood honesty (p. 16), develop healthy eating habits (p. 10) and guide positive body image (p. 34). Building on these themes, we suggest ways to stand up to bullying (p. 24), and create meaningful spring break memories (p. 22).
In our family spotlight, Tom and Vicky share their experience balancing farm life, careers, and raising three children (p. 18). They emphasize the importance of family time, maintaining traditions and listening to your and your children’s needs.
Every article reminds us that presence and intentionality—whether through consistent discipline, shared family meals, or simply being present for each other—creates strong family bonds. As we support our children’s journey toward independence (p. 28), we’re reminded that small, everyday moments build the foundation for lifelong success.
