The Green Parent is an inspiring parenting magazine for raising children consciously in modern society. Insightful, uplifting articles cover all stages of parenting from pregnancy to teenagers. Each issue includes features on attachment parenting, babywearing, alternative medicine and home education. Our family section is packed with columnists writing about alternative ways to bring up kids and articles on how to have a natural pregnancy, ways to create strong family bonds and the importance of self-care to help you be the best parent you can be.

Our new summer issue is here!

This edition is a celebration of positivity. The Green Parent has always been about sharing the joy to be found in family life, and as we head into the holidays it feels more important than ever. When the news can be overwhelming, choosing to seek out the good can be a quiet antidote.

At the heart of the issue, Francesca Tyer writes movingly on the power of a positive birth story and why we so rarely hear the ones that go well. Our Ages and Stages section is brimming, with a guide to a clutter-free first birthday, learning to parent as a team when styles clash, the gentle art of letting children be bored, and Suzie Rees on the patch of woodland that held her through early motherhood.

There is plenty to enjoy outdoors too. We forage the foreshore for wild coastal plants, share summer salad recipes from Australian chef Karen Martini, round up our top ten earth-loving family festivals for 2026, and explore fifteen lovely places to visit around St Ives. Add to that sun-safety advice, ethical UPF swimwear, a family camping survival guide, interviews, competitions, book reviews and so much more.

This issue also includes our annual Alternative Schools Guide supplement, full of settings where learning is rooted in nature, creativity and trust.

Wishing your family a joyful summer. Love from The Green Parent team
