History and profile
Parenting was launched in 1987 by Time Inc.. 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. Meredith Corporation, which owns Parents, the magazine's biggest competitor, bought Parenting in May 2013 and shuttered the title in July 2013. Parenting.com, its companion website, lives on.
With a total average circulation of 2,200,000 and an audience of more than 9 million, Parenting was 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.
Its website, Parenting.com, reproduces many features that were in the magazine. The site also features a pregnancy planner with fetal development photos, pregnancy info synchronized to a mother's due date with customized newsletters, a baby naming tool with thousands of name descriptions, a fertility calculator, buying guides and blogs, and with resources for health, safety and child development.
