In The November Issue

Message from the Editor: Hello and welcome to Nurture & Nanny's November Newsletter!

November is here and the leaves have started changing colors, the weather is getting a bit crisper, and we've started making plans for Thanksgiving. Before we know it, we'll be celebrating the holidays and ringing in the new year.

Last month brought about tragedy with the Southern California fires. Some of us were lucky to not have been affected, others were asked to evacuate their homes but were able to return, while some lost their homes and still cannot return. I hope that you and yours are well and safe.

As the smoke clears, let's take a moment to give thanks for what we have and for those that we love.

All the best,

Lara

In fact, it can do a disservice to a child under certain circumstances. Read on to learn more.
