The present study examines “styles” in a feature article of a British childcare magazine, Junior, in terms of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It aims to identify styles by focusing on modality, evaluation, and personal pronouns, and to reveal how the author identifies herself in relation to parents’ participation in childcare. Although Junior is a childcare magazine for parents, it displays a difference between mothers and fathers in Identification of the necessity/possibility of performing childcare activities. The assumption represented is that it is more necessary for mothers to perform strategies related to childcare than for fathers to do so. Furthermore, the home in which the mother is the first to perform childcare activities is represented as a precondition. This is problematic because the magazine targets not only mothers but also fathers and because there are a variety of family structures and styles in modern societies. However, the author assumes a family that consists of a father, mother, and child/children as the standard. By not showing the possibility of other family structures or styles, the author implicates that they cannot form a happy home.
