Being a parent is the most difficult job in the world and moms and dads need all the help they can get! The oldest parents magazine in America is simply titled Parents. Its readership is mainly women, aged 18 - 35 years old but it entertains and informs outside of that demographic and there are features with fathers in mind. The publication appears in print, on its website and broadcasts regular podcasts. Readers can also post their blogs and comments on the Goodyblog section and message boards.

There is a loyal core of readers and circulation is a steady 2 million. Every aspect of looking after a baby, toddler or young child is explored in articles and advice columns. In fact, topics on pregnancy are covered too and there is a helpful index of baby names to help parents to make that all important choice. Parents are naturally concerned with issues such as discipline, education and nutrition. The health of child and mother is discussed and how to keep a child safe. Parents magazine is not all serious however, and there are articles on beauty, the home and fashion. Experts know that it's important for mom to be fit and healthy too and there is advice on fitness workouts and having a balanced diet.

Quote of the Day

We do not raise our children alone.... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone.

—Richard Louv (20th century)

The concerns that parents deal with on a daily basis are addressed, such as getting baby to sleep and how to cope with food allergies. Parents magazine employ the expertise of specialists in the field of obstetrics, gynecology, child psychology and child development. Regular columns include As They Grow, covering the subject of child development at different ages. There are reviews of toys and equipment such as cycle helmets. Adoption and fertility issues are also covered. Nothing is left out, from taking a child for their first haircut to telling him or her about the facts of life.

Food is another issue that can worry parents. They want their kids to be healthy but to enjoy their meals. The online recipe search is a useful resource, bringing inspiration and ideas. The search facility can be used for a general search and the index is divided into sections for a more detailed browse. Categories include occasions such as Halloween, the 4th of July, Easter and Passover and Mothers Day or Fathers Day. Whatever the subject, Parents magazine is there to lend a hand. There may even be time at the end of the day for parents to put their feet up and read it in peace!
