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.Get more detail about
