Local Child-Related Periodicals

Most cities have child related periodicals that are about raising your children. Dallas, for example, has Dallas Baby and Dallas Child. There is usually a classified section in the back of these magazines that offers everything from used baby furniture to clothing items to babysitting services. Look through the ads and hire a summer babysitter or nanny. Parenting periodicals also have information on parenting groups, which can be very helpful to new parents. You will also find stores and activity centers for children and parents in these periodicals.
