The Best Parenting Magazines

Sometimes it can feel pretty lonely being a parent, especially if you live on a street where there are not a lot of other mothers. This is where subscribing to parenting magazines can be quite valuable.

One good magazine to subscribe to is American Baby Magazine. This is a complete reference for new parents that covers all aspects of child care including infant and toddler care. The magazine also has articles and ads about kid fashions, new products and accessories. American Baby Magazine puts out an issue a month.

Fit Pregnancy Magazine which comes out ten times a year is a magazine that caters to people with kids aged three to twelve. It is a monthly suggestion book that helps families to plan to do things together.

Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine helps moms with their health from conception through to baby's first year. It puts out four issues a year and has helped many moms have a healthy pregnancy.

Hybrid Mom Magazine is for the busy working mom. It is for the lady who is a community worker, teacher and entrepreneur. It puts out four issues a year which is a bit disappointing. I guess they are too busy being working moms to put out twelve issues a year, but we wish they would. It is a great little magazine that caters to today's lifestyle.

KIWI's mission is to help parents raise their kids safely with the best nutrition possible. The magazine is full of family wellness tips as well as ideas as to where to go on vacations. It also has education and craft projects in it that help teach your kids environmental principles and social responsibility.
Parent and Child Magazine is another classic. They put out eight issues a year. You will find articles about kids about all ages including articles on how to teach them to be polite, independent and become more interested in education. It is especially good at suggesting crafts and ideas that teach preschool kids higher learning skills.

Parents magazine is one of the most famous in the United States. It offers 24 issues a year along with tips, sure-fire techniques and great advice from America's foremost childcare experts.

Parenting Magazine is another mainstay in the United States. It puts out 22 issues a year and helps you raise loving, intelligent and confident children. Parenting is that magazine that you see in every doctor's waiting office that offers advice about children's health, safety and emotional development.

Spoiled Brat Kids Teach My Kids Bad Tricks

As a parent I started wondering where my kids sometimes get their sense of entitlement. How did they become so bratty? Then I realized they were getting it from popular culture – the cartoons they watch, the musicians they listen to and the tiny fashion mavens they follow like the Olson Twins.

One of the most obnoxious brats on television, although a funny one is Stewie from Family Guy. He is only one year old and has an ego the size of outerspace and a contempt for his parents that I am sure is emulated by all kinds of kids.

Another arrogant member of the spoiled brat club is Justin Beiber who acts like there is no other reality but it's own. The young man is a narcissist who cares only about his hair and apparently in real life he is pretty cocky. For his sixteenth birthday he got a Ferrari F430.

In real life one of the uppiest of spoiled brats is little Miss Suri Cruise who despite being only five years old wears little gold high heel shoes and carries a gold lame purse that cost $850.000. As spiritual as Tom Cruise is the word humble does not seem to be part of the family vocabulary.

Another young lady who spoiled rotten and has it show is Will Smith's ten year old daughter who dresses head to toe in cheetah and leopard, wears heavy Gucci and Pucci chains, and $700 boots. She dresses like a retired Miami dowager and not like a little girl.

Lourdes Leon, the daughter of Madonna, gets hours of spa pampering weekly including weekly pedicures, manicures and facials. She is also always seen in designer clothing and carrying bottles of expensive vitamin waters and mineral waters. I was wondering why my child thought she was entitled to drink three dollar bottles of vitamin rich waters rather than just having Kool-Aid like everyone else.

The there is Daddy Brad Pitt who recently let his daughters Zahara and Shiloh spend $10,000 on clothing in an hour. They each also got a $250 hair cut and a $15,0000 doll collection. His son Pax wears a $600 World Vision Jacket.

A show that is almost a cult for spoiled girls to follow is My Super Sweet 16. This show on MTV has main characters that lead innocent children to believe that the apex in life is excessive consumerism. The show is riddled is iPads, Gap clothing, Landrovers and other 'the sky's the limit' type presents.
