Who put this magazine out?,
By bookreader (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parenting School Years (1-year) (Magazine)
I am not impressed with Parenting School Years. While the title is catching, the magazine is a glamourous Target/Wal-Mart add. Another reviewers comments made me take a look at the magazine at a bookstore and after flipping through the magazine flipping through add after add and briefly reading parts of articles I must say that the title should be changed to Things We Want Parents To Buy For The School Year. Not impressed.

This review is from: Parenting School Years (1-year) (Magazine)
I'd rather stick a needle in my eye than read another word from this magazine. There was a copy of this in the Doctor's waiting room, so I thought "Why not?" picked it up and began reading. This is marketed for the parent who has no interest in their child's life. This type of parents is only interested in what stuff they can buy their offspring and what garbage they can buy to feed their offspring. I believe the reading comprehension level of this magazine was written at the 5th grade level, maybe lower. The magazine was full of "parent tested" items that are rather useless and expensive.
I feel like I should be compensated for the ~5 minutes I wasted looking through this magazine. I was stunned to see that one must actually PAY for a subscription to this. It's too bad I have to give this one star. It deserves none.

A magzine for those of us who are past the newborn worries,

This review is from: Parenting School Years (1-year) (Magazine)
As any mother knows, there are so many worries that can go along with those first few months and years. And, there's a plethora of magazines aimed at that segment.
Now there's one targeting those of us who know that just because a child can speak up, feed/bathe/dress themselves, and growth percentiles are no longer the critical measure - there ARE still worries and struggles! Balancing freedom/discipline, homework, technology, friendships, communication, etc. Are there ads and reviews of material 'stuff'? Yes - and I don't mind that! I like to read about what's out there for this age group (K - 6th or so?), as it helps me to make decisions about what we might be interested in and what we're not. If you grow all your own food, only eat whole foods, sew your own clothes, and never interact with the 'outside' material world - this may not be for you. Since I do buy foods (prepared even, gasp), buy clothes, gadgets, music, etc - this is fine by me. I'll agree with another reviewer that it's not written at the level of, say, The Atlantic. But, I'm not looking to it to speak to the intellectual in me, but rather the mom of an elementary schooler, and it does that quite well in my opinion.
