How long does parenting information remain current?
Posted on 20. Aug, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
The reason I ask is that I’ve been collecting parenting books and magazines ever since I got married, hoping that soon we’d have a baby. Well, I’m still waiting for my dream to come true so I’ve been faithfully holding on to them. But now, I’m wondering if they need to be tossed. Of course I know that the internet is full of resources and I try to stay current, even learning all about elimination communication and things like that, but sometimes it’s just nice to have things in print. My question is, being that my printed material doesn’t have the latest parenting info, is it of any value? I know I have to have the very latest information on things like safety, but what other types of info go out of date quickly? I guess another way to ask is this…moms – what’s the oldest parenting material you’ve felt comfortable using?

Posted on 04. Aug, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I am having trouble finding childrens/parenting/education newsletters and magazines published specifically for Pennsylvania residents. Are there such things and would they be directed at specific counties? I’m interested to see what publications are out there so that I can suscribe to them or at least read some of them for information on before-kindergarten education.

Games for mom in a parenting magazine?
Posted on 03. Aug, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I had a parent magazine, I’m not sure if it was Parents or Parenting, and there was a small list of three websites moms go on to play games. I can’t find the magazines, and didn’t bookmark the sites yet. The websites for Parents and Parenting don’t have links to them, so does anyone know what they were? I’d appreciate it.

My mom is always reading these parenting magazines?!?
Posted on 30. Jul, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I am 13 years old and my mom is constantly reading these magazines that talk about how to be a better parent. That’s just fine and dandy, but she always is quoting the magazines and stuff; it really is annoying. Example:
She says, "You should try blah blah blah because that’s what my magazine said." and she comes up with statistics out of nowhere, like some kind of calculator. "Did you know that 76.9% of people who paint their nails on a regular basis will end up with some form of cancer from the inhalation of the fumes?" she says. I paint my nails a lot, and so I asked, "Where did you hear that?" and her unspecific answer is, "Oh, in some magazine." She makes up the numbers, usually; I think…
And I’ve read the magazine articles. They sound sort of like this book I had once that talks about how to take care of you pet, except in the articles, it’s "How to _____ for your Teen." Like, teens are such alien creatures! One month the magazine will say to give your teen tough love. The next, it will say to pamper your teen. She always goes along with it, and makes the whole family [my dad, and my 11 year old sister] try whatever new trick it gives on how to have a better family life and how to build a relationship with your kid. Frankly, I would have a MUCH better relationship with her if she would stop reading the magazines and quoting them and basically becoming a slave for them and whatever silly idea they have!
I know she’s just trying to be a good parent, but I’m not sure how long I can put up with it. My sister agrees with me, but obviously, she’s too young for an account on here.
So, the question is, what should I do about this? I’ve tried actually hiding the magazines, but then she just went out and bought them in the grocery store line. It’s really ruining any relationship [as the magazines say] that I would potentially have built with her. I’ve also tried talking to her about it, calmly and rationally, but her reply was, "So, you’re saying you know more than Jane Doe, MDD? I don’t think so, young lady!"

Where can I get free pregnancy, parenting, and child magazines?
Posted on 23. Jul, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I have recently subscribed to the American Baby and Baby Talk magazines. I am bored sitting here waiting for my baby to make her arrival so I figure some magazines would be amusing.
