Parenting
The editorial emphasis of this magazine is on educated and worldly parents
raising children ages 0-12. There is in-depth coverage of the issues which
affect families, from day-to-day matters like discipline and diet to more
global concerns like day care and education. Its regular features focus on
age-specific child development, education, health, family activities, food,
travel, toys, games, fashion and beauty.
National
Geographic World While its famous, yellow-bordered parent, National
Geographic, presents the world with magnificently produced photographs and
stately, authoritative maps, National Geographic World, a monthly magazine
for kids ages 8 to 13, opts for the cartoony, kid-friendly style of a
facts-are-fun activity book. In articles on sharks, winter festivals, space
exploration, or fossil hunting, the emphasis is always on kids doing things.
The stories are as likely to quote a 12-year-old from Ohio on the subject of
dinosaurs as they are to cite a paleontologist; even better, they'll show
you that same 12-year-old excavating her own hadrosaur jawbone. The
always-inspiring "Kids Did It!" section profiles young people who
have started their own businesses, become political activists, or cleaned up
their neighborhood, making any kid want to go beyond just learning about the
world to changing it.
