About

Creative family life,
across generations.

The Artful Parent is a magazine for families who want more connection, imagination, and emotional depth in everyday life — steered by Editors-in-Chief Graeme and Jeanette Brown.

What we cover

Creative Family Life

The home as a studio

Parenting, grandparents, grown children, family roles, memory, rituals, and the small creative choices that make a home feel alive.

Childhood

The years that shape us

Development, imagination, feelings, play, learning, confidence, and the practical realities of helping children grow.

Art & Play

Making as connection

Hands-on projects, seasonal crafts, sensory play, drawing, painting, collage, and the creative archive that made The Artful Parent beloved.

We treat creativity as something bigger than crafts. It is how families notice each other, repair, remember, and keep becoming.

Who steers the magazine

Graeme and Jeanette Brown — a husband-and-wife team, grandparents, and parents of writer Lachlan Brown — serve as Editors-in-Chief. Meet the full masthead, including this week’s writers, on our Masthead page.

  • We correct errors quickly and transparently. Significant corrections are noted at the foot of the article along with the date of revision.
  • Opinion pieces are clearly labeled as such and attributed to a named contributor with a biography.
  • We follow established journalistic practice for sensitive topics: medical, financial, and mental-health content is published with appropriate disclaimers and links to qualified professional advice.
