The Fall 2026 Edition of Minnesota Family is now available to read online.
Fall brings new routines, new classrooms and new opportunities to see one another more clearly. This edition begins with a reminder that first impressions set the stage, but they do not tell the whole story, then moves into thoughtful and practical ideas for families navigating a new school year.
On the cover, Deema Chen and her family share a legacy shaped by authentic Chinese Kung Fu, discipline, hard work and gratitude. Inside, parents will find stories and guidance on understanding kids’ learning styles, preparing for parent-teacher conferences, choosing between college and technical school, supporting language growth and taming the school morning rush.
The edition also explores why the “default parent” conversation often emerges after a baby, the lasting value of youth sports, and the Koubsky family’s hope to raise children who become “hope-bringers” in the world.
