ParentMap, February 2012 Issue

It used to be assumed that siblings were a must for a happy childhood. But these days, researchers are making a pretty convincing case as to why this isn't so -- with one expert noting that only-child families are actually becoming the traditional norm.

This month, we also take a look at how parents can nurture their young introverts, help preschoolers stand up to bullies and the scary trend of sexual harrassment in schools.

And love is certainly in the air this month with Valentine's Day! If you're looking for a "parents-only" getaway, we've got the scoop on some seriously sweet in-city and nearby places that are perfect for getting in that much needed R&R with your sweetie.

Here's wishing your family a month filled with plenty of love!
