Guide In Choosing Magazines For Tween Girls

By Young Lindsay


When it comes to reading materials, it is important to know what you can get from it. Aside from the entertainment, you should also get lessons and values that are appropriate for the person and would cater enough to an extent. Books have been the primary source of education for everyone, which branched out as technology and media evolved.

Magazines are basically derived from old scripts. The first ones were published in Germany around the 1600s which also in America, it came around about the 1700s. But now they are even categorized further into different focuses of interests, locale, age groups, etc., and this is why magazines for tween girls are one of these types.

The society has been very harsh to teenagers with so many pressures that they face on a daily basis. This is why looking for a good and well rounded magazine that would satisfy both values of knowledge or information and entertainment as well. This is the reason why parents need to monitor what their kids are reading.

This magazine can actually still be divided into further different categories, this provides teenagers more focused topics on what they want to read. This includes education, sports, general interests, and specific target for boys and girls. These kinds of mags can be bought anywhere in convenience stores and online for subscriptions or single purchase.

Knowing which ones to choose and subscribe would be a bit tricky, since you would need to go over each one of them. As a parent, you can either read one by one and see what is well rounded enough and can provide enough information that is suited for your kids. As a teenager, you would want stuff that would actually interest you all in one magazine.

It would be best to get recommendations from coworkers, friends, or relatives, and also read reviews, too. This gives you enough reason to decide on one. Being a parent, you need to know your issues and the issues of the kids, too, so you can have this to base your choice in picking a magazine.

So, before choosing on what mag to subscribe, test one out and see if you and your kids would like it. Get feedbacks from them. After this, you can test out more and decide on which one fits. Be aware that there are magazines that are targeted for tween girls in general but can be subcategorized further for only those fifteen and above which might not be appropriate for those fourteen and below.

Of course, like any other magazines, these ones have drawbacks as well. They can provide a twisted and toxic perspective especially since tweens are susceptible to marketing strategies by publishers. It can be harmful for their health due to the imposed body image they are giving out. Give them other things to read that would balance it out and would actually give them a better and well rounded perspective of life.

All in all, the benefit for this is reading in itself. These ages are the most susceptible to information and experimentation. Guiding them with the right kind of materials would be the determining factor for their growth and upbringing.
