From our readers

Hello Susan,

What a terrific issue to see on the newsstand! I only just picked Manhattan Family up, but am thrilled to see you’re covering teens. There is a dearth of information out there for parents of teens and it’s such a challenging time in parenting.

I’ll be sure to pass it along to a few parents I know.

Best,

Faye Rogaski
