“If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence,” Thich Nhat Hanh
This timeless edition of Minnesota Family is dedicated to mindful and intentional parenting. Our articles provide practical suggestions to help parents identify stress (p. 10), manage the morning routine (p. 12) and develop lifelong financial literacy (p. 4). We also explore the science behind sharing meals (p. 14) and helping with homework (p. 24) empowering parents to make informed decisions for their families.
The Post family shares their experience of having a daughter in the Olympics, dealing with loss and sharing memories (p. 18). They emphasize kindness, support, and the importance of relationships. Building on these themes, we suggest five ways to make kindness a family activity (p. 28), and practical ways to encourage thankfulness (p. 16).
Every article reminds us that presence and intentionality—whether through acts of kindness, shared reading moments, or simply being present for family time—creates strong family bonds.
Thank you for reading,
Minnesota Family
