Coaching is all in the family
he publication of this
issue marks the end
of my tenure as edi-
tor of (201) Family.
I have worked at North Jersey
Media Group for 13 years and
began my relationship with
The Parent Paper and then
(201) Family about six years
ago.
As a mother, I have always
tried to shed light on important
topics across
all aspects of
parenting for
children of all
ages. It has
been a great
joy to cover
everything
from the com-
mon cold to
the common core curriculum.
My own children have been
the inspiration for much of the
content in this magazine as
I observed and mentored them
from childhood to young
adulthood. Now, as they com-
plete their sophomore year
of college, it seems fitting that
I step aside and let someone
new take the lead and bring
a fresh perspective to the
content.
Many thanks to all of my
colleagues in editorial, produc-
tion and advertising who have
worked to make (201) Family
such a wonderful experience.
And many thanks as well
to all of you readers who have
recommended and relied on
the content we deliver in each
issue.
Keep on reading! ●
