June is a month for dads, family adventures, and summer bonding. In our almost-summer issue, one dad reflects on growing up fatherless and how his son helped him begin to enjoy Father's Day, and we have your guide to exploring the Canadian Gulf Islands. If you're at a loss for how to keep up with family bonding and learning this summer, read our summer routines article for tips on how to stay on track.
Our feature story asks: are boys being left behind?
Plus: tips for kids ready to become babysitters, and the answer to calming rowdy kids at the dinner table.
Finally, fathers have a call to action from our publisher: consider reaching out to your U.S. senators to support the Family Act, which influences paid family leave. As we continue our "Making it Work" editorial focus, we hope that readers will get behind real opportunities for change to benefit families.
