Fun Activities for Fall

Parenting     From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor     I have always felt that fall is one of the best times of year for families. There is always so much to do–both inside and out–and the activities appeal to kids and adults of all ages. I live in an area where “agri-taintment” is king – especially this time of year. Every weekend thousands of families flood the area, checking out the farmstands, the pumpkin patches, the apple orchards, and the corn mazes. But even with all that fun, there is so much more to do as the leaves change colors, as our Parenting Experts are happy to report.   Worried About Bullies? 7 Ways to Prevent Bullying 5 Things Parents Can Do 10 Prevention Goals for Schools Follow us on:     6 Fall Activities the Whole Family Can Enjoy From running around a playground together, to hitting an amusement park (yes, many are still open!), fall is overflowing with fun things to do.
