{As a child development writer (and mom!), I read a lot of parenting blogs. These are some of the best parenting blogs I’ve found to help keep you inspired, learning and growing as a parent}
Parenthood is the only “job” which involves no formal training, very little background knowledge (for most of us) and the “outcome” involves the people we value most (our kids). However, most of the best parenting blogs I’ve seen also know that parenting cannot really be equated to a job, either. It is a relationship, as unique and special as your relationship with your spouse or best friend. As with any long-term relationship, it can have its ups and downs. Add to that the fact that children are under-developed in their “relationship skills.”
All this is to say that to thrive in parenthood you need a tribe–fellow parents who have gone down the road you are traveling and can point out the bumps in the road or at least sit by you and help you buckle your seat belt.
