Child was an American parenting magazine founded by Jackie Leo and MaryAnn Sommers in 1986 and published until 2007.

Child sponsored events including its annual Children's Champion Awards (those honored at the awards events included Dr. Marion Wright Edelman, Judy Blume, Geoffrey Canada, Wendy Kopp),[4] children's fashion shows for Fashion Week in New York City, and the Best Children's Book Awards, whose Lifetime Achievement Award-winners included Julie Andrews, Maurice Sendak, Hilary Knight, Tomie de Paola and Eric Carle.
