It Takes a Village: Building a Supportive Parenting Community

Why building a supportive parenting community is essential?

Emotional Support: Reducing Isolation & Stress Relief

Parenting is challenging – and why make it even worse without people who can understand you at a glance and relate to all your ongoing stress related to the kids… Let’s support each other, as isolation can be a huge reason for frustration.

Have you ever felt better after a conversation with another parent? If yes, you probably know what I am talking about. I encourage you to bond stronger with those who make you feel better.

Of course, there are competitive parents who are not looking for anything other than to show off their kids’ abilities. My best advice is to avoid them.

Shared Knowledge: Practical Advice & Resources

We can have a good conversation about medieval history, but also share tips to raise our great kids… or simply survive 🙂

Having diverse perspectives is always enriching when expressed with respect. And here, regarding parenting.. we have a lot to say, and I believe there is no single family who does things the same way.

At the same time, we can share so many resources: health-related, activities to perform at home and outdoors, and so many more…

Motivation & Encouragement

Which parent has ever doubted their parenting skills? (Every??) Here we can discuss, reinforce ourselves positively, and help other families

Emergency Support

Whenever any crisis, using an online community sometimes may be the same efficient as the offline one. Sometimes maybe even better, as in a really critical situation, it may be more convenient to stay anonymous.

So? Did I convince you that having a supporting parenting village, online or offline, can be really beneficial for the kids’ and caregivers’ well-being?
