Mothering celebrates the experience of parenthood as worthy of one's best efforts and fosters awareness of the
immense importance and value of parenthood and family life in the development of the full human potential. As a
readers' magazine, we recognize parents as the experts and wish to provide truly helpful information upon which
parents can base informed choices.
Mothering is like no other publication. We are an original. Born in 1976 out of the need for the natural family
community to learn about raising healthy children, Mothering was the birthplace of the natural family lifestyle.
Read in more than 65 countries, Mothering is the only independently owned, family living magazine in the world. We
address contemporary health, personal, environmental, medical, and lifestyle issues in an upbeat, intelligent,
compassionate, and courageous way.
Each issue contains philosophical inspiration and practical advice about family living. Topics are as diverse as
circumcision, vaccinations, organic foods, childhood illnesses, home birth, ear infections, parenting teens, web site
information, midwifery, and homeopathy.
Mothering is a family. We have an independent editorial spirit unmatched in the industry and a readership that is
unmatched in responsiveness. Readers who read Mothering share many of the same values. Nowhere else will you
find such proactive, passionate, and highly educated readers. In the pages of Mothering you will find an
environment of credibility, trust, and authority.
