How to Write a Newsletter for Parents

Creating a parenting newsletter can involve a lot of work to organize and publish. If you keep in mind the purpose of your newsletter and keep yourself open to advice from others, creating a parenting newsletter can be both an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Instructions

    • 1

      Determine the audience for whom you're writing the newsletter. To get ideas for the newsletter, take into consideration the age group of the children and the location where these families live.

    • 2

      Include a calendar in your newsletter for parents. This calendar can include any upcoming dates that parents should keep in mind. For example, if you're creating a school newsletter, you could include mention of field trips, days the school is closed or special events such as class photo day. If the newsletter is intended for a social group, include a brief description of events for the groups and dates when activity fees are due.

    • 3

      Add photos and illustrations to the newsletter. This can give parents the opportunity to see their children doing activities that they might have missed if they were not able to attend the event. The children can enjoy seeing their own pictures in the newsletter as well.

    • 4

      Provide tips in the newsletter for parenting. Gear these tips toward the age of the children. If the newsletter is for parents of toddlers, for example, include tips on how to help your child sleep alone at night, how to get your child to stop biting and how to teach your child to share.

    • 5

      Include recipes in the newsletter. New recipes give parents a chance to introduce different foods to their children. It can also help a parent who has a very limited amount of time to plan meals or is struggling to come up with meal ideas.

    • 6

      Ask other parents (or teachers, coaches or organizational leaders) to contribute to the newsletter in the form of articles or ideas. This will allow you to present different viewpoints in your parenting newsletter that you might not have thought of on your own.

    • 7

      Put all of these individual sections together to form the newsletter. Once you have all of your components from the previous steps organized, analyze how they flow together best and use that as the order for your newsletter.
