I think it could be good for younger parents who don’t read many parenting books.
I don’t normally buy alot of parenting magazines but this one caught my
eye. Very informative. Great articles. Loads of information.
I have kept a few of these issues and have found great receipes for toddlers. Its worth the buy
My husband and i love this magazine. It has great idea for children and i love reading the seasional articles.
I have been buying this mag for a very long time and the money i have
invested in to is worth it. Lot of ideas and it really relates to use
kiwi parents.
I was given one as a present from friends regarding morning sickness. I
have been buying a few of these only if i like the articles.
interesting topics and ideas for kids receipes.
I love this mag and keep mine as a reference for future use. This book
is great for black or white, rich or poor families. I like to visit
their stand at the parent child show. Worth reading for first time
parents/
I get mine free from attending parent courses. This book is great for
parents with little children. Worth buying and keep it as ref.
i received mine at the parent and child show. I was happy with the
article realting to children. I have kept mine and refer back to it
from time to time.
I love getting this magazine delivered to my door every couple of
months, (free with my parent centre membership), and find myself reading
it from cover to cover. I think there is a good variety of topics and
often has me doing more research into certain things that take my
interest. I like the fact that it’s not laden with technical terms and
gives pros and cons in the articles. As a first time Mum I have really
enjoyed this mag and often flick through previous copies referring to
different things.
I was a bit disappointed with this mag as I felt it was written a bit
simply. I get them free being a member of Parent Centre and haven’t
found too much info helpful in them. A few of the articles on breast
feeding have had flawed research added which could actually have caused
some parents to want to give it up altogether! I think it could be good
for younger parents who don’t read many parenting books.
I really liked this mag when our kids were younger. We did a couple of
courses through Parents Centre and joined up, getting the magazine. It
doesn’t seem to have the relevancy to us as our kids have grown, but I
would recommend it to parents of young chidlren.
