Parenting

Launched in 1987 by Time Inc., Parenting is a magazine for families published in the United States.

In February 2009, the magazine became two separate, age-targeted editions: Parenting Early Years, for moms of infants, toddlers and preschoolers; and Parenting School Years, for moms with kids in kindergarten through age 12.

With a total average circulation of 2,200,000 and an audience of more than 9 million, Parenting is the flagship of The Parenting Group family, which includes the monthly Babytalk magazine; Working Mother magazine; Conceive; the Parenting.com website; MomConnection, an online research network; and a custom content unit.

Many of the features in the magazine are reproduced on its website, Parenting.com.

The site also features a pregnancy planner, with fetal development photos, customized newsletters, and pregnancy info synchronized to a mother's due date; a baby naming tool with thousands of name descriptions; a fertility calculator, buying guides, and blogs, along with resources for health & safety and child development.

In January 1997, The Parenting Group relocated from San Francisco to New York City, where Janet Chan was named editor-in-chief of Parenting and editorial director of The Parenting Group.
