Family Connections–Issue 28 is here!

This issue is all about transitions! Going back to school, starting daycare, and all the big feelings that come with new beginnings. You'll find practical tips for smoother school mornings, tools for easing separation anxiety, and curated book lists to help your child feel ready and confident for this new chapter.
You'll also find an inspiring Parent Spotlight featuring Karina, a mother who immigrated from Chile with her two children and has built a remarkable new life fueled by her unwavering commitment to her children's future. Read Karina's full story and more in the 2026 National Latino Family Report.
We also invite you to reflect on your own first day of school memories and share them with our community on Instagram and Facebook. And don't forget to download the AP-OD Family App for local family events and resources!
