Best Parenting Blogs

We are all imperfect parents but this blog gives us hope that we can raise good kids, despite our imperfections. Nicole is a licensed therapist who offers meaningful, real-life advice in a thoughtful way.

If you are not familiar with RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) then check out Janet’s site. It focuses on a thoughtful, insightful parenting approach that focuses on seeing the infant as a whole person from the start. One of my favorite parenting blogs that focus on the early years.

Kelly describes herself as a reformed perfectionist and everything here is real life and real solutions. If you are ready to ditch the idealized notion of parenthood and be real, this is a good place to start. Kelly offers great ways to reconnect with your kids.

This wonderful site is all about parenting kids (from toddlers to teens) with anxiety. Written by a child therapist who specializes in helping kids with anxiety and OCD, it is packed full of awesome resources. Natasha provides advice and support backed by years of research and training.

Research-based positive parenting ideas from a developmental psychologist. You can’t beat that. Great, thoughtful parenting blog articles.

 Need help fostering emotional intelligence or a growth mindset in your children? Then this blog is the place to start. Angela also offers tons of good positive parenting articles on topics like raising strong-willed kids, coping with the toddler years and positive discipline.

Amanda is a scholar after my own heart–trying to bring research into the lives of the people who really need it. I even love the name of her blog. She says childhood is not just cute, it is powerful and priceless. I couldn’t agree more.

If you ever wonder if some article or post you read about a parenting hot topic is based on any science at all, you should check this site first. Alice is the best at searching out the real science behind common parenting issues.

I’ve come to appreciate this blog more and more over the years. Anytime I need a quick refresher on a developmental issue, I can always count on good info from this site because it’s run by an evolutionary anthropologist.

Another great site whose goal is to share knowledge of occupational therapy with the rest of us. Great information for understanding all children’s development, including playful learning activities, fine and gross motor skill development.
