The editors · November 2026
Welcome to November 2026. Last month we added 13 new articles, and the library now holds 268 published pieces. That is plenty to wade through, so we will not list them all. If the school gate has been a hard place lately, Kids Separation Anxiety at School: What Actually Helps is a fair place to start.
Looking back at October, the most read piece was Teen Social Media and Mental Health: What Parents Can Do. Preschool and Toddler were our busiest categories, which feels about right. Small children keep everyone on their toes. Baby sleep regression pieces are also trending, as they tend to when the evenings turn dark and tired parents go looking for answers.
That is the news, and we would rather say less than pad it out. Put the kettle on, read what suits you, and leave the rest for another day. The articles will keep. We hope your November is a gentle one.
