ParentEdge - July - Aug 2015

I dette nummeret

Welcome to the Fourth Anniversary Issue of ParentEdge. As we step
into another year of parenting together, we want to thank you for all
the support, feedback, suggestions and ideas. Do keeping writing in.
To mark our fourth anniversary, we have brought in a significant
change. This issue onwards, you will see articles authored by experts
in various fields related to children. While expert opinions and indepth
research were always an integral part of ParentEdge articles,
these expert-authored articles are an opportunity for you to receive
insights ‘straight from the horse’s mouth’!
You will also see new sections; ‘Making Sense of Adolescence’,
‘Family Matters’, ‘Demystifying Education’, ‘Fitness Funda’ and
‘Parenting Quotient’ make their debut in this issue.
As for the old favourites, the Everyday Parenting article shows you
how to encourage questioning in your child, the Young Parents’
Corner feature explains how social skills slowly but surely develop in
young children, and the Practical Nutrition article demonstrates how
you should decode the messages, claims and information given on
packaged foods. A timely read given the number of new food product
launches and the advertising blitzkrieg in this space.
The Cover Story focuses on this information overload on your family
– and the influence that advertisements have. Book Reviews, Quick
Resources (top smart phone applications for parents), Ask an Expert
(parenting queries answered) and Product Review (innovative, new
puzzle games from MadRat Games), are all in the magazine for you to
enjoy and make use of.
