not a bad mag to read.
have no problem with this magazine. I find it a great read. I always look forward to picking up my next copy from shops.
I spotted this magazine at the Plunket rooms when I went to the local coffee group. What an awesome magazine.
are great articles, hot Tipsand ideas for all ages of children from babies through to teens.
I try to read from cover to cover unfortunately both my boys keep me so busy I only get a quick read. Great articles.
There were always good ideas of how to manage behaviour and play with your children creatively.
only magazine for parents of kids aged between 0 through to 18 years. I
guess if you need ideas with busy toddlers and tenagers than this mag
is for you. It covers a lots of variety of topics and you can also
refer back to old issues for ref.
We get a subscription to this mag and have found it to be really great,
there are always new things to learn or try out and there are good
morals behind Ian Grant’s work. His books are great too, my husband has
read and highlighted most of Ian’s book “Father’s who Dare Win”.
i was very impressed with this mag i found that i could touch bases with
alot of the articles in here plus the fun activities in here where good
to know and do. i recon that this book is well worth the price you pay
for what you get and this is right on the mark
but again it is expensive and has half the pages as other parenting
mags, has sound advice and stories from ian grant and his family which i
love, topics are fun and serious at the same time, and i have found
they are really relevent to things happening, great mag that i must
admit is the only parenting mag i keep and read more then once! great
buy for toddlers and upwards and if you have the little extra cash to
fork out
I was given a year’s subscription to this magazine but decided not to
renew it. I found the articles informative with a range for all ages.
There were always good ideas of how to manage behaviour and play with
your children creatively. However, I was upset by the lack of role
models and examples of families portrayed in the magazine to represent
the variety found in New Zealand society. It felt very white middle
class. Some examples of families portrayed a life of going on skiiing
holidays , etc which felt a little incongruous with the general
population of our country. I like the emphasis on developing character
in children but don’t feel an affinity to the culture represented in the
magazine.
I really like Mary and Ian Grant’s parenting wisdom they deliver in this
magazine. I like the seperate sections for age groups at the back and
the informative articles on current parenting issues.
I also subscribe to the weekly hot tip which comes via email and have used more than one.
I have been buying this magazine for years now; even before I was
married and had any children because I found it useful as a teacher
also. There are great articles and “hot Tips” and ideas for all ages of
children from babies through to teens. It also has a section on
relationships. Overall, I would say it is my favourite magazine and one
of few magazines I read cover to cover. It is cheaper if you subscribe
to it yearly through Parenting Inc.
I really like this parenting magazine as it covers all the ages from
baby – teen. Having a baby, a pre-school and a primary age girls I find
most of the articles relevant to my situation and gives me an insight
as to what’s to come.
I really like this one. It has good solid advice from people like Ian
Grant, and it’s fun to read. It’s a bit expensive though, so I don’t
buy it every month, but I will pick it up when there’s an article that
particularly interests me.
