Parenting Magazines Subscriptions

Parents (1-year)

Amazon Price: $9.97 (as of 06/03/2012)
List Price: $42.00

I have a subscription to four different parenting and baby magazines: Parents, Parenting, Babytalk, and American Baby. This is my favorite. I seems to be the most informative and the topics are presented in Parents long before Parenting every gets around to it. For example, Parents had a indepth article on new discoveries in miscarriages and the following month parenting ran a similar article, but was not as informative and obviously was a steal from Parents. There are also great contest. There are also topics that parents can send in comments about and actually get paid for them if published. All I can say is that this is the only magazine I need and will not be renewing the others. -- Julie Beth Smith "babiesmomma" (Maryville, TN United States)

Family Tree Magazine (1-year)

Amazon Price: $27.00 (as of 06/03/2012)
List Price: $41.93

I really love this magazine because, first of all, I love Genealogy! And this magazine is a great source of information whether you are just starting out on your family search or if you've been hitting the archives for years.
And it is WEB oriented which is just what I'm looking for as I do a lot of research online. Family Tree Magazine always has new or important search tips. I learned to check characteristics of old photos for clues in narrowing a search for birth years when you don't have an exact date. Then I looked in the census for years around that time period to find the person I was looking for. -- Linda Earls (Kerman,CA USA)

Cookie, October 2008 Issue

by: Editors of COOKIE Magazine

Amazon Price: (as of 06/03/2012)
List Price: $3.99

I've read everyone's reviews then I received my own copy in the mail. I like it. It's for parents who read Vogue, In Style- stuff like that. I don't want magazine advise on my kid. I get enough unwarranted advise already. Yes there are plenty of things I cannot afford, but like when I read fashion magazines in the past- I found a way to get the look I liked without coughing up so much I-need-to-pay-the-utilities dough. You can always DIY or knock off. I read to relax. The layout's nice. Lush colors. Fashion, decor, food and fluff articles. Hope Cookie hangs around for us parents who don't find they fit the Parents/ Good Housekeeping crowd. -- supernovadiva5000 (dallas, texas)

ADDitude

Amazon Price: $19.99 (as of 06/03/2012)
List Price: $41.70

I am a pediatrician with 2 ADHD children. Although I have alot of technical knowledge on the subject, I have found this magazine extremely helpful in terms of suggestions for problem-solving day-to-day issues, and keeping things in perspective (if they discuss the same problems we're having in a magazine, then the challenges my kids face and my less-than-perfect parenting are not failures of discipline and self-control- we're just part of the ADHD community!) Very straightforward, balanced, but mainstream viewpoint. Lots of practical articles about living with ADHD in all settings and behavioral/ cognitive interventions. Doesn't push medication, although it does provide information and tips on dealing with side-effects. Also light on coverage of alternative therapies. Plenty for both affected adults, teens and parents of ADHD children. -- Kate McCune (Berkeley, CA)

Adoptive Families

Amazon Price: $24.95 (as of 06/03/2012)
List Price: $41.70

When I received my first issue of Adoptive Families Magazine, I could not wait to read it! It felt great to feel connected to many of the writer's stories. My husband and I are waiting for our first American,adopted newborn and this magazine continues to educate us on the adoption process. I recognize a few of the magazine's writers and advisory committee members attending their lectures and through books they have written. Also, there are diverse viewpoints and laws that appear to be changing due to this network. After months researching adoption, I feel the adoption community in America is a kind of family and just beginning to grow. -- ROY (Pennsylvania...Artist)
