The editors and Advisory board members of Parenting OC recognize the need to make a difference in the lives of children, and we are dedicated to empowering parents with information and resources they need to be the most effective parents they can be.

Our editorial focus is set on serving the time-starved parent with a combination of practical how-to information and a hand-picked calendar of family-focused events. And unlike many parenting magazines that fill their pages with nationally syndicated copy and no local focus, Parenting OC is community-focused from cover to cover. Orange County is home to some of the top research centers on the subjects of child development, education, and family issues from such world-renown places as Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and the UC Irvine Child Development Center, allowing the editors of Parenting to provide the most current parenting information available without leaving OC.
