The Avocado

The Avocado Parenting Thread Gets Some Advice

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Suggested topic: Advice

Back in the day, Dr. Spock made a name for himself by writing Parenting Advice books, and millions of children were raised by parents who followed his advice. No one today has quite his reach, but there are plenty who try.

Are there any professionals or experienced parents you look to for advice? Maybe an older family member, a blogger, a neighbor who’s a teacher?
