The Parental Intelligence Newsletter was first published on 4 August 2002 as a weekly email. It became an online newsletter in March 2004 and a monthly newsletter in July of the same year. Since 2 May 2010 it has been published fortnightly.
Over the years, the Parental Intelligence Newsletter has changed in format and character so many times much of its history has become no longer relevant to its present incarnation. For that reason, the archive of issues going back to Issue 1 has been replaced by an archive commencing from the first issue of the Parental Intelligence Newsletter as it is today.
