All of us want to be the best parent we can be, but we sometimes
doubt whether we are doing what's best for our children. Good
parenting skills are learned; we're not born with them. But
where should you go for parenting advice and tips? There are
hundreds of parenting websites. Which ones offer the best
parenting resources? Take a look at these sites for valuable
parenting tips.
1. Gerber Foods, the baby food manufacturer, has an excellent
parenting website, http://www.gerber.com, filled with
information on parenting issues for those with infants to
toddler-age children. Particularly useful is their Parents
Resource Center, a 24/7 live help forum for parenting questions
and problems that arise in the middle of the night as well as
those in the more civilized hours.
2. Do you have a toddler that you're toilet training? Do you
need to share your parenting experiences and get advice on what
you are doing right or wrong?
http://www.pottytrainingsolutions.com is a parenting website
that offers easy-to-read advice on parenting toilet training.
Their series of helpful articles and parenting take you through
the entire process and the FAQ sections helps with basic
parenting advice.
3. A successful parenting website relies on trust and who has
better credentials on parenting that the people who have brought
us the PBS show, Sesame Street for all of these years. Their
parenting articles on http://www.sesamestreet.org/parenting give
advice on parenting toddlers as well as older children. Recent
parenting articles have included "How to Raise an Eager Reader"
and advice on keeping your parenting resolutions. There's also
nutrition information and recipes as well as kids activity
ideas. It's a great parenting resource.
4. Parents of teenagers will appreciate the free parenting tips
on http://www.byparents-forparents.com. In addition to articles,
there are self-tests that allow parents to measure the
effectiveness of their parenting techniques. Another highlight
of the site is the open parent/teen forum that gives both teens
and adults the chance to share their thoughts.
5. Work-at-home moms can sometimes feel isolated. Visit
http://www.wahm.com to share ideas with like-minded moms (and
dads). There are parenting articles, an active parenting forum,
and even a section with job leads, featuring telecommuting
positions and freelancing gigs.
6. And, finally, for those times when you need a lighter moment,
there's http://www.parentinghumor.com, a well written website,
dedicated to the lighter side of parenting.
Remember that you're not alone. All parents need advice
sometimes. There are thousands of parenting resources online.
From parenting workshops to parenting forums, there's a wealth
of information available for parents with children of any age.
