Summer time is here, mommies! In this month’s issue of Smart Parenting, find out how you and your family can have a memorable vacation, the best family-friendly destinations, newest toys for summer, and so much more.

“This might be the summer when your brave little one will go on his first plane trip or learn a ride a bike without balancers or finally be unafraid of getting sand between his toes,” Smart Parenting’s editor-in-chief Mia Fausto-Cruz writes. “Whatever sweet memory the season brings, don’t forget to capture it. Whether it’s learning to ‘take great pictures’, or bottling these special memories, [Smart Parenting] will show you how you can cherish these bright, happy moments.”

Gracing the cover of this month’s issue is first-time mommy Pia Guanio and baby Scarlet as she talks about how she took on the hardest job in the world, despite her uncertainties and fears, and aimed to be the best mom she could be. “I’m all for embracing this whole motherhood thing, so I intend to be there for every milestone of Scarlet,” says Pia. Aside from her tried-and-tested parenting tips, you can also learn a thing or two on how you can also get your pre-baby body back like Pia did!

Other helpful articles in this issue include ways on how to avoid embarrassing child meltdowns in public, hidden meanings in your child’s drawings, tips on how to tone down troublemaking, how to deal when your child show signs of being gay, and more.
