EDITOR’S LETTER
Bye bye summer!
Y
our kids are going back
to school and you’re
feeling a wide range of
emotions. Let me tell
you that it’s going to be OK.
Why not plan a weekly family
night-out dinner where your kids
can fill you in on what they’re
learning at school? In “Everybody Eats!,” we recom-
mend seven local restaurants that both you and your
kids will love. Or help them learn a new recipe that
they can try making on their own (turn to page 6).
This issue wouldn’t be complete without
showcasing some stylish back-to-school looks.
“Classroom Catwalk” offers new school wardrobe
options for girls and boys — and let’s not forget
about finding the perfect backpack.
We also meet cover subject Talia Cuomo and
do-gooder Stephanie Reifman. Cuomo, a talented
8-year-old from Old Tappan, recently shared the
screen with A-list stars Sandra Bullock and Sandra
Paulson in the all-female crime film Ocean’s 8. And
Reifman, who is starting at the University of Michi-
gan this fall, created a middle and high school pro-
gram to help spread the dangers of heroin addiction.
(201) Family likes to bring families together and
our story on planning the perfect family reunion does
just that (page 20). Make note of the fun ideas you
can do to make the event a bonding experience
for all.
Our helpful Special Parent guide (starting on
page 23) for parents of children with special needs
provides newsworthy information about programs,
people and projects in the community.
And has your child ever told you they hated you?
Ouch. It hurts. Guest col-
umnist Eva Dwight shares
tips on how to deal with
this parenting heartbreak
